Atlas Real Estate Group is committed to “Adding Tomorrows” for those with Cystic Fibrosis. Participating in the annual Stair Climb at Mile High Stadium, the team raised $5,000 and Atlas matched the contributions with a $5,000 gift to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Rocky Mountain Chapter.
Congratulations to our team for their outstanding fundraising efforts and feat of physical excellence, climbing 3,865 steps! Atlas partner Ryan Boykin was the fastest, completing the challenge in a little over 24 minutes.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.
About Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.
In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, sticky buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage, and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.
