My Breathe Team Story

Our story begins in October of 2023, when our son Julius was born. Julius is now 1 year and 3 months , he has endure many challenges throughout his first year of life but that does not stop our little warrior from thriving and doing what he loves to do. Your support makes a difference small or big in Julius's life and many others battling this disease. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m running to help change that reality for my son and others.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. For Julius it has really affected his liver than anything else along with his pancreas. 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. Anything helps to make a difference and we truly appreciate it. Julius is beyond grateful for those who support him and our family in this chapter of our lives and who show up and show out for him when they can.
