My Breathe Team Story

Vanessa Alarcon

Fundraising for Disneyland® Halloween Half Marathon Weekend

Donate

Vanessa Alarcon

Every day, my husband fights a battle most of us could never imagine. He is a warrior—a man of unparalleled courage who has faced cystic fibrosis head-on since birth. Recently, he was given the incredible gift of a double lung transplant, a second chance at life. While the road to recovery is long, he faces it with the same strength and determination that have always defined him. Our two-year-old son is blessed to grow up with a father who teaches him, every single day, what true bravery looks like. Through every struggle and every triumph, I will always be his advocate, his rock, and his biggest cheerleader.


I’m running this half marathon not just for him, but for everyone fighting CF. Every step I take is for the warriors, the families, and the hope for a future without cystic fibrosis. Please join me in this journey—every donation brings us closer to that dream.


Thank you for your love, support, and generosity 💜

I can't express enough how grateful I am. We did it, everyone! 🎉 Your generosity has not only helped me reach my fundraising goal, but it has also filled me with gratitude and a sense of empowerment. Your support means everything to me, and it moves me deeply to know you believe in both my run and in the fight for a cure for cystic fibrosis. This journey is about so much more than crossing a finish line — it's about hope, and your contribution gives that hope a powerful voice. My husband and I are both incredibly thankful for your support 🤍 If you’re still interested in contributing, please know that every additional donation will continue to help further the cause and make an even greater impact!
