My Breathe Team Story

Hello and welcome to my CF fundraising page!
Last year my hubby and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our lives. Unfortunately for him, we gave him some bad genes and he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (see below for more info on what that means). So far, it seems like his disease is on the milder end of the spectrum, and when he turns 2 he will be eligible to take a medication that will improve his life even more. There is still no cure for CF, and many of those affected have it much worse than my son does.
I am running in the Chicago Marathon later this year on behalf of the CF Foundation, who does incredible things for those with this disease. The funds from this campaign will go directly to them as they try to find a cure.
Thanks for reading and hope you have a great day!

Below is the pre-filled out info for this section that I didn't have the heart to delete :)
CF 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.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
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.
