Cystic Fibrosis Walkathon

Employee Name
Michael Blaauboer

A couple times a year, my family, friends and I help build awarerness, raise funds and donate our time for walkathons and bike races for Cystic Fibrosis in San Diego.  For the most recent walkathon, we raised over $6000 to help find a cure for CF.  We have now been participating in the CF events for almost 10 years.  The great part about these events, they help bring the CF community together as well so many other people.  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections.
