The below excerpt is from my niece, Sydney’s CF page.  She is the reason we do this every year.  Please help us find a cure for her! No donation is too small.  Every cent gets us closer to a cure!!

Hi everyone it’s that time of year again! CF Awareness month is right around the corner and all of us with CF need your help! This year has been a challenging year for me and my fight with CF.  My body is rejecting a lot of the medication I need to help me fight CF, but I will not give up and with your help I can do it! Not only has this past year been hard with my battle with CF but we lost a very close friend to CF at such a young age. No one should ever have to go through this but it is a reminder of what life expectancy with CF is and that there is currently no cure. In may last year I was very sick and we found out that I am 1 of 4 people in the world to have this micro bacteria growing in me. They just started with a trial on how to treat this but currently the bacteria is spreading more and more through my body at a pretty good pace. With everything that happened last week during soccer it really brought the reality of what Cystic  Fibrosis can do to you when you least expect it. Please share this and know I am not alone in this fight, there are so many other fighters out there who also are in need of your help. If you are unable to donate please share. Team Sydney Skiers is making a comeback to the Pittsburgh CF walk this year. We are working on getting shirts and everything together! Please consider joining us May 20th to walk/run towards a cure!  This is my story below :
