When I’m out on a long run, I often think about how lucky I am — lucky to breathe freely, lucky to have strong lungs, a healthy heart, and legs that carry me mile after mile. I feel deep gratitude for this gift. And I’m always reminded that not everyone is so fortunate.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and far too many people with CF still die far too young. I’m running to help change that reality.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening disease that relentlessly damages the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes breathing difficult, leaves people vulnerable to life-threatening infections, and often leads to severe lung damage and respiratory failure.

Every person born with CF faces a unique journey, but all share the daily challenge of living with a disease that has no cure. While incredible progress has been made, too many people are still waiting for the breakthroughs that will give them the chance to live long, healthy lives.

We need a cure.

By supporting my fundraising goal, you are helping advance the research and science that move us closer to that shared dream — a cure for everyone with cystic fibrosis.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

Thank you for being part of this fight. 💙
