Local runners can come join the fun and run for a good cause in the Breathe and Believe 5k/10k at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 7 at Kiwanis Park in Lewiston.

The Breathe and Believe 5K/10K is a cystic fibrosis awareness run, operating by donation only. All the donations are sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, blocking up tubes, ducts and passageways.

This fundraiser is to help spread awareness. Maddi Calkins, LHS senior, has a younger brother who is battling cystic fibrosis, and she’s wants to make a difference. She does not just want to fight for her brother, she wants to fight for everyone that suffers from cystic fibrosis.

Shirts will be available to purchase at the fundraiser.
