My Breathe Team Story

Karen McGinnis

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure. And while there is no cure for it yet, I am running to help change that reality.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis, like my niece, is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. We are lucky that she has been able to receive medication and the right tools with her medical team to live a happy normal life but it's all thanks to great people at the CF Foundation working hard in their research of this disease. And while great work is already beeing done we need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Any help is super appreciated! Virtual high fives are also encouraged for extra running motivation 

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
