Miles for Cystic Fibrosis

MILES FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS:  RESPONSE TO PANDEMIC 

What a difference the last two years have made in so many lives!   Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Miles for Cystic Fibrosis pivoted from our usual course to add a new program.  In 2020 we created a Critical Needs Initiative to support CF individuals and families who have been struggling financially due to lost income and other economic hardships.  We provided more than $85,000 in assistance to CF Fighters and their families, but had to suspend our program because of lack of funds.  Help us continue to help these vulnerable people by donating TODAY!   

Tax-deductible donations are gratefully accepted through this site.  Increase your impact by choosing to make your donation monthly!

As always, thank you for helping us help those with cystic fibrosis in their time of critical needs.

WHO WE ARE

30,000 Americans have cystic fibrosis, but it touches the lives of millions of others... family members, friends, neighbors, school buddies, co-workers, maybe even you!

Miles for Cystic Fibrosis raises money and awareness through running and other events. Because exercise has been shown to improve the quality of life for those with Cystic Fibrosis, leading to longer, stronger lives, we actively promote exercise in the CF community. Hundreds of people from around the US have run..... Miles for Cystic Fibrosis.... and will continue raising funds until the cure is found.

Living with cystic fibrosis is physically, emotionally, and financially challenging. Physical activity has been shown to have a positive impact on health, well being, and quality of life for children and adults with CF. Exercise is recommended as part of standard care for cystic fibrosis patients, but for some there are cost and motivational barriers to exercise and active lifestyles. Miles for Cystic Fibrosis BreatheStrong exercise grants are intended to help remove these barriers.

Your donation will help fund the Miles for CF BreatheStrong and Critical Needs programs. BreatheStrong grants pay for exercise opportunities like gym memberships and sports activities for CF kids and adults who just can't afford the extra expense or need the extra motivation for an active lifestyle.  Since the pandemic began  we have been helping CF Fighters and their households who are struggling financially because of COVID-19 and need help paying for groceries or utilities.

We honor the kids and adults fighting CF with every dollar we raise. Join us, make a donation, and help give them longer, stronger lives.
