Meet Katrina Holloway, a CF mom taking on 26.2 miles in honor of her daughter, Mal! ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€œIn 2006, my 16-month-old daughter, Mallory, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, changing our lives forever.

Her diagnosis brought countless challenges, thousands of pills, and hours of treatments and therapies. But it also inspired our family and friends to rally around people living with CF and become part of a community determined to make a difference.

On November 1, Iโ€™ll take on 26.2 miles through New York City with Team Boomer, inspired by the person who motivates me every day: Mallory.

Every mile I run reminds me of everything she does each day to maintain her health while continuing to pursue her goals. As a BEF Athlete and student-athlete living with CF, Mallory uses her platform to share her journey, raise awareness, and inspire others. As I train for the marathon, I hope to do the same.

My 26.2 miles will never compare to the challenges she has faced, but every step will be for her and for everyone living with CF.

And I canโ€™t wait to celebrate with Mallory in Central Park after I cross that finish line.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ

Join us in cheering on Katrina and Mallory as they take on NYC together! ๐Ÿ…

This past weekend, 16 Team Boomer runners, including 2 runners with CF, took on the BMW Berlin Marathon! ๐ŸŽ‰ We are so proud of every single one of our runners for crushing 26.2 miles and representing Team Boomer and the CF community in Germany!

A huge THANK YOU to our runners, their donors, families, friends, and support teams who were there every step of the marathon journey. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

As Team Boomer continues to expand to races around the world, we are proud to bring CF awareness with us every mile of the way. ๐ŸŒŽ

Congratulations, Team Boomer Berlin! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ…

โ€œMy name is Maggie, and Iโ€™m running in support of my friend Tess, who has been living with cystic fibrosis her entire life.

Over the past 26 years, Tess has faced countless battles with incredible strength and resilience. Thanks to advances in medicine and organizations like the Boomer Esiason Foundation, she continues to fight, thrive, and live life to the fullest.

Iโ€™m excited (and definitely nervous!) to take on 26.2 miles, but this challenge doesnโ€™t come close to the uphill battles Tess has faced throughout her life.

Every mile is for her, and for everyone living with CF. Iโ€™m so proud to run for something bigger than myself.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ

26.2 miles. One powerful reason to keep moving forward.

Join us in cheering on Maggie and Tess! ๐Ÿ…

Celebrating World Lung Day 2026! ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’™

Today is and for the cystic fibrosis community, every breath is something that is never taken for granted.

As our very own Jerry Cahill, a double-lung transplant recipient, says:

โ€œA lifetime of MORE LIFE with my new lungs! I continue to keep my lungs clear and healthy and try to keep the air clear of pollution so we all can โ€˜JUST Breatheโ€ฆโ€™โ€

Today, we celebrate every milestone, every breath, and the incredible advancements that continue to make those breaths a little easier. ๐Ÿ’™

โ€œIโ€™m running the 2026 Chicago Marathon for Team Boomer because running has become a way for me to overcome what I once thought was impossible while living with cystic fibrosis.

Growing up with CF, I never imagined Iโ€™d one day be running marathons, let alone setting bigger goals with every finish line. I hope my journey reminds others in the CF community that this diagnosis doesnโ€™t have to define what weโ€™re capable of.

Iโ€™m incredibly grateful for the advancements that have made moments like this possible, and Iโ€™m proud to represent the Boomer Esiason Foundation in Chicago this fall as we continue supporting and empowering people living with CF.โ€

Every mile has a purpose. ๐Ÿ’™

Are you ready to help make a lasting impact in cysticfibrosis research? Anagramโ€™s Phase 2 clinical study evaluating how ANG003, a non-porcine (not from pig)
pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) works compared to a standard of care, porcine (from pig) PERT.

Study is designed for individuals with CF and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) ages 12 years and above who also meet other criteria. You do not have to be on a
modulator. FEV1 (lung function) has to be >30% predicted. There will be no cost for you to participate.

Your role could be the next step toward groundbreaking advancements in CF treatment.

The trial involves a screening visit then an acclimation period where everyone takes the same porcine PERT. Next is a period where standard meals are given and
stool and blood samples are collected. Then randomization to one of two doses of ANG003 or the porcine PERT occurs. This is followed by another period of standard meals and stool and blood collection. Surveys about how gastrointestinal symptoms & stool quality are also given. Safety is also evaluated. Each visit offers an opportunity to advance CF research under the care of an expert medical team.
