A MESSAGE FROM Emily's NYC Marathon 2022 Fundraising Page
Hi! 👋🏼 For those who don't know, I was previously planning to run the NYC Marathon in 2020 and have rolled forward my entry to this year's race. I am still running the marathon with the amazing organization, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). If you were kind enough to make a donation the last time I was fundraising, your donation has been rolled forward to this year - thank you again!!
Not only does running the NYC Marathon mark a bucket list item for myself, but I am also honored to be running for the CFF. One of my best friends from college has lived with CF his whole life, and I have unfortunately seen first hand what living with CF is like. Cystic Fibrosis traps mucus in the airway and lungs - limiting someone's ability to breathe, it can even trap bacteria. This also makes them increasingly more at risk for infection and they have to be very careful. At this point in time, there is NO cure for people with Cystic Fibrosis, and the CFF is making strides through research, drug development, care, and support. Donations made directly to the CFF have been able to be turn research into concrete results.
I so GREATLY appreciate any donation you're able to make - our support will bring us that much closer to making CF stand for Cure Found. THANK YOU and hope to see you in November! 💕
xx,
Emily
