July 12: Maryland's 2nd Annual "Lift For Life"

The Maryland Chapter of Uplifting Athletes will hold its 2nd annual “Lift For Life” event Tuesday, July 12th starting at 3:30PM. The fun-to-watch strength and conditioning competition will feature members of the Terrapin football team and is open to the public. It’s your chance to get a sneak peak at this year’s squad as they participate in this strenuous event and help a great cause. “Lift For Life” will be held on the practice field next to Byrd Stadium. Admission is free.

The Maryland Chapter of Uplifting Athletes has chosen to help fight cystic fibrosis, a rare disease that affects near 30,000 Americans. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic rare disease that affects the lungs and digestive system by producing unusually thick mucus; the condition can clog the lungs and lead to a life-threatening lung infection and can obstruct the pancreas and stop natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

The chapter’s goal is to donate any contributions made by spectators and fans at the event to the Boomer Esiason Foundation for cystic fibrosis research.

You can get involved by supporting the team and emailing friends and family about the upcoming event. Take action today to help people with diseases that are all too often forgotten.
