to Nov 29

Fall Bolt 24 Challenge

The Fall Bolt 24 is a 24 hour virtual fundraising run for Rock CF on November 28!

No, you don't have to run for 24 hours straight. Instead, you will run 4 miles every 4 hours, totaling up to 24 miles in 24 hours. I know some of you can bust 24 miles out in one go but we want everyone to participate in a 24 hour period!

You can run outside, inside on a treadmill, or a mixture of both. Be sure to post screenshots of your watch or phone when you are all done on our official Facebook Event Page & Strava Run Club page below! If posting on IG or anywhere else, use the hashtags #FallBolt24 & #letsrockcf.

Facebook Event Page: https://fb.me/e/1Id7N8vfg

Strava Run Club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/rock-cf-run-club-594124

You can start anytime you'd like and have your own 4 hour schedule, but here is a starting point: Starting with 4 miles on November 28th at 6pm, and then running at 10pm, 2am, 6am, 10am and finishing at 2pm!

Registration to enter into the fundraiser is just $5, which allows you to join and create your own fundraising page while earning sweet gear!

  • At $50 raised - Rock CF T-Shirt

  • Top 5 Fundraisers - Rock CF Swag Box

If you're not up for the 24-mile challenge, consider running 2 miles every 4 hours instead. We encourage you to follow all safe, social distancing protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone who chooses to participate; stay safe, and have some fun! All proceeds for the event go towards benefitting the Rock CF Foundation and our various programs.

Five Feet Apart - Viewing Event

Tickets: http://thebonnellfoundation.org/product/five-feet-apart-admission

The Bonnell Foundation and The Rock CF Foundation are hosting a viewing of the much anticipated movie "Five Feet Apart." Join us on Thursday, March 14th at 7:00pm at the Emagine Theater in Royal Oak!

Tickets are $20 which includes popcorn, pop and a chance at raffle prizes! A portion of the proceeds will go towards both foundations. After the movie, there will a short discussion.

We believe that it is best that this viewing be attended by parents, caregivers, providers and loved ones of those with CF due to cross contamination issues.

With the exception of Emily Schaller (Founder of Rock CF), we ask that those with CF do not attend. If a person with CF chooses to attend we will have masks available to wear and make sure you are not sitting next to a person with CF.
