I am excited to share that my 6.5 x 6.5 x 65 endurance challenge is a part of National ROSE UP Day on September 18, 2025.
ROSE UP, now in its sixth year, is a national virtual fundraising event created and led by adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). This inspiring event brings the CF community together to advance the mission of finding a cure and improving the quality of life for everyone living with CF.
This year, the goal is to raise $500,000!
To help us achieve our goal, I'm organizing an endurance challenge to help in the fight to find a cure for CF - running 65 miles in 65 hours (6.5 miles every 6.5 hours). It's a 2 and a half day challenge, starting on Tuesday September 16th, ending on ROSE UP day (Thursday the 18th).
My personal goal is to raise $65,000.
HERE'S THE SCHEDULE
Tuesday September 16th
That's 65 miles in 65 hours, for CF!
I hope you'll join me - wherever you are in the world!
Whether you participate, donate, or raise awareness by sharing your story and tagging #ROSEUPCF on social media, you are making a powerful difference for people living with CF.
On behalf of my entire family, THANK YOU for your support.

Recognized globally, the CF Foundation has been a trailblazer in the fight against cystic fibrosis, driving extraordinary medical and scientific progress. Together with the CF community, the Foundation has supported the development of more than a dozen CF treatments—an unprecedented achievement in a short span of time—and helped add decades of life for people with CF.
However, despite these advances, many individuals with CF still do not benefit from existing therapies.
