I am deeply honored to announce that Buranich Funeral Home has contributed toward the $5,000 goal for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Buranich family and their staff have spent decades serving our community with compassion and dignity during their hardest moments. Their support is a reminder of the strength of our local community and the importance of honoring those we’ve lost by helping others. Thank you, Buranich Funeral Home, for your generosity and for being such a pillar of support.
I want to give a massive thank you to the team at K&K Landscaping for their donation to the CFF. As a former employee I know that K&K stands for hard work and reliability. Seeing them step up to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation means the world to me. It’s local businesses like these that make this area great. Thanks for helping us get one step closer to that 5k milestone and for fueling the fire as I prepare for the 24-hour marathon at Greek Peak!

Racking up runs at Bristol today! Did you know that, For people with CF, exercise is actually a form of therapy. Physical activity helps loosen mucus in the lungs, making it act like a "natural treatment."

A massive thank you to the team at Ayrloom for the incredibly generous donation! It’s an honor to have such a powerhouse New York brand and fellow CFF supporters in my corner. This contribution is a huge leap toward our $5,000 goal!

A massive thank you to the crew at Funk 'n Waffles for jumping on board to support the 24-hour ski marathon for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Being a Syracuse local, Funk is all about community, and they proved it today by backing this mission.
Huge shout-out to the team at Joe’s Buds for stepping up in a big way! 🌿🔥 Not only did they drop a generous donation for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, but they hooked it up with the swag to keep the momentum going.

The average annual cost of care for a person with CF can exceed $130,000, and many families face over $10,000 in out-of-pocket costs even with insurance.
Thank you Visual Technologies for donating and officially joining the mission to crush CF! As a local Syracuse leader in tech and communications, their support adds a massive boost to our momentum. After conquering Whiteface Mountain this past Friday, seeing a powerhouse like Visual Technologies step up reinforces exactly why I’m doing this. Together we are showing that no mountain is too high and no goal is unreachable!

Taking the mission to Whiteface today for CFF. We’re crushing the initial $1k goal thanks to donations from the legends at Colemans Authentic Irish Pub We aren’t stopping there, with commitments from other local leaders the new target is $5,000.

This mission is about more than just runs; it’s about honoring the lives we’ve lost and fighting for the ones we can still save. A massive thank you to Gang Memorial Chapel and Courtney Funeral Home for their generous donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. These are people who understand the value of family and legacy better than anyone. I’m honored to have them in my corner. We are closing in on that $1k milestone, and then we’re charging straight for $5k.

In the 1950s, kids with Cystic Fibrosis rarely lived to see elementary school. Today, thanks to research, many are living into their 40s, 50s, and beyond

Thanks to everyone who helped us raise $400 in under 24 hours. I’m doing this challenge in memory of my sister. We lost her last year, and I want to use this platform to show that anyone can carry that weight and still do something great for others. Help us get to the $1,000 goal for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
