Why start a charity? Why, “The Boost Foundation”?

We knew that we wanted to bring more attention to the CF community, while being able to share KC’s passions for motorsports. Bringing both together paved the way to achieve a greater purpose.

Given that this is a terminal illness, you might not think that “racing” and “motorsports” are the ideal activities or sport to be around for someone suffering from this condition. KC would agree that is a valid argument.

However, our founder has takes pride in not being a slave to this disease. Instead, he hopes to show others that it is possible to embrace it; and chase whatever dream or activity that makes you happy, even if it means sacrifice, even if someone said there was "limitations".

When coming up with the name, we needed something that tied both motorsports and cystic fibrosis together. At first, this seemed like an impossible task. Then, it clicked…

Boost: /bo͞ost/ verb:
to intensify the speed or power of a vehicle by increasing oxygen flow to engine.

If anyone knows cars, they know how a turbo-charger works… forced air induction to create more horse-power, or “Boost”. Insert the “aha” moment where we realized how similar this principle is to anyone living with CF.

We need that air induction to keep us moving as best as we can, as strong as we can, and are always looking to strengthen and increase our supply. If you take a look at our logo, one would say the “B” is oddly shaped. You are right.

That is because it is called a turbo-charger, the component that is responsible for creating boost.

Now here we are, tying motorsports and cystic fibrosis together in the most unexpected, but relatable way - “The Boost Foundation”.

The rest is history in the making.
