Boomer’s Cystic Fibrosis Run to Breathe (4M)

Join Team Boomer for the fifth annual Run to Breathe and help us win the fight against cystic fibrosis. Team Boomer celebrates living and breathing while encouraging people with cystic fibrosis to incorporate exercise into their everyday lives to help them breathe.

Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason began his fight when his son Gunnar was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a fatal respiratory disease that attacks the lungs. Boomer’s Cystic Fibrosis Run to Breathe helps support research for a cure and benefits the thousands of Americans with cystic fibrosis to help them improve their quality of life.
