1 Mile Run for every $50 Donated

Help us "Make Connor Run"

Connor Tully is the son of Three Lakes 12-20 Patient Delegate, Tom Tully. Tom is a pulmonary fibrosis patient and lung transplant recipient. Having lost his grandfather to the disease, and with his father and uncle actively fighting to survive with a terminal diagnosis, Connor knew he had to do something.
 

In July of 2023 as Tom was placed on a transplant list, and in September Tom successfully completed lung transplant surgery. Connor wanted to accelerate the solution for his father's diagnosis and raise funds towards a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. So began his first fundraiser for pulmonary fibrosis, as a way to cope and to make a difference against a disease with not enough solutions and answers.

 

When Tom was asked 'how can I help?' his reply was "Make Connor Run!"

 

Each year, Connor now puts his athletic endurance to work on his father's behalf, fundraising for the entire month of May, and then running 1 mile for every $50 raised in June. 

​

In 2026, we hope to blow Connor's previous record monthly run total of 135 miles out of the water.

 

Three Lakes 12-20 is honored to be the recipient of Connor's funds, pledging them towards early detection and prevention research.
