A MESSAGE FROM Michael’s Miles for Cystic Fibrosis
A few months ago, I made a goal to run a marathon this year. I had my sights set on NYC and I was lucky enough to be accepted this November. I’m currently training & looking forward to making that AI photo above a reality! 🏃🏻♂️🗽
I will be running on the “Breathe Team” with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 🫁 The goal is not just research, but a CURE. I have pledged to raise at least $5,000 and would be so grateful if you would join me in supporting their cause!
Why We Fight for Every Breath:
Cystic fibrosis (“65 Roses”🌹) is a rare, genetic disease that affects the lungs & digestive system. For the nearly 40,000 children and adults in the U.S. living with CF, a thick, sticky mucus clogs their airways and makes everyday tasks—like walking, running, or even just breathing—a constant battle. Why Awareness Matters:
Just decades ago, many children with CF didn't live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, thanks to donor-funded research, the median survival age has reached about 40 and continues to climb. No Cure Yet:
Despite incredible breakthroughs in treatments, there is still no cure. People with CF continue to lose their lives to this disease every day. Leaving No One Behind:
While new medications have changed lives for many, some individuals have rare genetic mutations that don’t yet have a treatment. We fundraise to ensure that everyone with CF has a chance at a long, healthy life. How Your Donation Helps:
By supporting this fundraiser, you aren't just giving money, you are investing in the science that will one day make CF stand for "Cure Found." Your contribution supports vital research, medical programs, and education that directly improve the quality of life for the CF community.
Thank you for helping us fight for a future where everyone can breathe easy. 🫁🌹Your support means everything. ~ Michael
