Team Sarahtonin is back for more and this time we're trading in the dirt and hills for flat pavement with the Breathe Team.
This November, Adam & Sarah are running the Hilton Head Half Marathon together, dedicated to raising money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Me for my first half marathon. Sarah for her first quarter marathon.
Running is hard. It pushes you to a place where every part of your body wants to quit, and you have to decide to keep going anyway.
For those with Cystic Fibrosis, that fight isn't just on race day, it's every single day.
My wife Sarah was born with CF. When she was born, the idea of her graduating college, getting married, and living a full adult life seemed impossible. Today, because of groundbreaking research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, she's doing all of those things and more. Running has never come easy for Sarah. CF makes that next breath the hardest thing in the world. But shortly after we met, she had the opportunity to join the clinical trials for Trikafta, a gene therapy for CF and it changed everything.
Breathing treatments that used to take hours now take minutes. She went from 20+ pills a day to just a few. Her CF-related diabetes all but disappeared, something her doctors still don't fully understand. And this November, because of what Trikafta has given back to her, Sarah is lacing up her shoes and running alongside me. That's what this medicine has made possible. That's what your donation helps fund.
But Trikafta doesn't reverse the damage already done. It's not a cure. And it doesn't work for everyone with Cystic Fibrosis.
So we keep moving. Every mile and every dollar gets us closer to making CF stand for Cure Found. 💪
Please consider donating, every dollar has given more years, more breaths, and more life back to Sarah and thousands of others with Cystic Fibrosis. 💜
