Our Team CF Story

Leslie and Dave at UCSF, Team Lung Transplant!

Welcome to Team UCSF Lung Transplant, where each step we take in the Chicago Marathon is a stride towards a future free from the constraints of cystic fibrosis (CF). We are two committed providers (NP and MD) of the UCSF Lung Transplant program, fueled by compassion, and committed to making a lasting impact in the lives of those battling this relentless genetic disorder.

About Cystic Fibrosis:

Cystic fibrosis affects the respiratory and digestive systems, posing daily challenges for those living with it. Our team understands the struggles faced by individuals with CF, and together, we are determined to raise awareness, funds, and hope for a brighter future.

Our Mission:

Team UCSF Lung Transplant is not just running a marathon; we are running for those who struggle to breathe freely. Our mission is to:

- Raise Awareness: Shed light on the impact of cystic fibrosis and the importance of early diagnosis, research, and treatment.

- Foster Community: Build a supportive community where individuals affected by CF can find encouragement, understanding, and strength.

- Raise Funds: Contribute to ongoing research, patient support programs, and initiatives that improve the quality of life for those with cystic fibrosis.

How You Can Support:

- Donate: Your financial contribution directly impacts our ability to make a difference. Every dollar brings us closer to a future without cystic fibrosis.

- Join the Team: Lace up your running shoes or support us on the sidelines. Every member counts, and we welcome anyone passionate about making a change.

- Spread the Word: Share our page with your network, friends, and family. The more people who know about our mission, the greater impact we can make.

Together, We Run for Breath, for Hope, and for Change

As we prepare to tackle the Chicago Marathon, we invite you to be a part of our journey. Your support transforms every step into a beacon of hope and progress. Join us in the fight against cystic fibrosis, and let's make a lasting impact together.

With Gratitude,

Team UCSF Lung Transplant
