September 2024 marked five years since I lost my little brother Daniel to Cystic Fibrosis. In his memory, I’ll be joining the first-ever Breathe Team to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at Disney Marathon Weekend in January 2025. I'm asking humbly for your support!
  

The Disney Half Marathon was the only long-distance race I got to run with Danny before he passed. As you may remember, Danny fought Cystic Fibrosis tirelessly for over 18 years. His days were filled with a minimum of twice daily physiotherapy, aerosol treatments, dozens of pills. Danny lived life to the fullest despite the health challenges he faced. He loved running, hunting & fishing, and spending time with friends and family. In the spring of 2019, it became clear Daniel needed new lungs. About 6 months after relocating to North Carolina so he could be listed for a double lung transplant, Daniel developed pneumonia and was hospitalized. After a grueling 30 days in the ICU praying new lungs would come, Danny lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis on September 25th, 2019.
