It is with great pleasure and excitement to share with you that I'll be participating in the Walt Disney World Half Marathon event as part of the Breathe Team representing Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This run will be part of the weekend long event and takes place January 2025 in Orlando, Florida.

Great Strides is Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest national fundraising event and was established to offer hope to those living with this condition. Annually, Great Strides has over 50,000 people participate in different walks across the country to support the mission to cure CF and raise awareness about this rare, genetic disease. CF is a debilitating disease that causes a thick sticky mucus to build up in the lungs & digestive tract, as well as other areas of the body which leads to health complications such as chronic coughing, repeated lung infections, difficulty breathing, the inability to gain weight and poor growth. Each day, those with CF endure a rigorous routine of medications, therapies, and treatments just to maintain their health. But they do it with courage and determination, hoping that one day, CF will stand for "Cure Found." This hope drives our mission to fund research, support patient care, and provide resources to families affected by this challenging disease.

I'm seeking your help and support in making a donation towards my efforts in continuing to help those fighting the fight each and everyday. Your generous donation can make a real difference directly impacting the lives of those with Cystic Fibrosis. Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to making a difference. It truly means everything to me, my best friend Crystal and her sister Hannah living with and fighting this disease like a true warrior since birth.

Peace and Love, Kim Murphy
