My Breathe Team Running Story

Fundraising for Valencia Marathon 2026
JD Slajchert
Running has become my outlet, my therapy and one of the most important aspects of my journey. It's taught me that it takes a lot of work to get to where you want, and it's taught me about how strong and resilient we can become when we set our mind to something.
Cystic fibrosis is a devastating disease. Cystic fibrosis, or, "CF" is a genetic, life-shortening disease that attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young, making it a painful diagnosis for families across the globe.
I’m proud to share that I'm now partnering with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help bring hope and awareness for all of the families with loved ones battling CF each day by running in the 2026 Valencia Marathon. This is my Breathe Team running mission, and together we can help change that reality.
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. Every step I'll be taking in my journey to compete in the upcoming Valencia Marathon in Spain is for all of those families impacted, so thank you for your help and support. Together, we will make a difference. Let's get to work.
