My Breathe Team Story
Leah Mork
Fundraising for 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon
Leah Mork
Hi everyone!
For those who may not know me, my name is Leah. I'm so excited (and a little nervous) to share that this fall, I'll be running the Chicago Marathon in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!
This cause means so much to me personally because my cousin Landry lives with cystic fibrosis, and supporting the CF community has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family participated in fundraising walks for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and those experiences showed me just how strong, resilient, and supportive this community is.
Cystic fibrosis is such an unfair disease, and seeing someone you love face the challenges that come with it makes you realize how important it is to keep pushing for better treatments - and ultimately, a cure. That's a big reason why running this marathon means so much to me. This is my opportunity to give back, raise awareness, and do my small part in helping to fight for a future where families no longer have to face this disease.
For me, this marathon is about a lot more than just running 26.2 miles. It's a chance for me to show up for a cause that has meant so much to me and my family for years, and to support those who live with cystic fibrosis every single day. Every dollar raised will go towards research, treatment, and continued progress towards a cure.
I'd be so grateful for your support - whether that's through a donation, sharing this page, or cheering me on from afar. Your encouragement and generosity truly mean so much to me.
Thanks for being part of this journey with me! I'm honored to run for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish together, For the Love of Landry 💛
