My Why

Fundraising for 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon

Raven Jemison

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis. It’s a genetic disease that attacks the lungs and vital organs, forcing a relentless, breath-by-breath fight against infections and organ failure. Too many lives are cut tragically short.

My wife, April, is a walking miracle—a double-lung transplant survivor. She is my inspiration, but she is also a reminder of the brutal reality for thousands still waiting for their breakthrough.

I’m running for her, and for every person whose life hangs in the balance. We have come far, but the road ahead is still long and lined with struggle. We stand at the critical juncture between research and reality. Your donation fuels the groundbreaking science that will close that gap. Invest in the cure. End CF.
