My cousin Alexena has Cystic Fibrosis. I was borning on her (18th ) birthday she said we would be birthday sisters not just cousins. Even though we live 100's of miles apart and i don't see her i love her lots. i pray for her everyday because i love her so much and want her to feel better and breath better and not have to go to the hospital, help me get money to help her and the cystic fibrosis to go away. I'm gonna walk in (Erie) May to show everyone i am Xena's warrior and we are gonna kick cystic fibrosis butt!
Love, Mercy Ann (age 5 yrs.)
For too long, cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease, has robbed people of tomorrows – progressively limiting their ability to breathe and tragically shortening life. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
I walk for them. Will you join me and support my Great Strides fundraising goal?
Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short.
By walking with me in Great Strides, you can help accelerate the Foundation’s pursuit of new therapies and provide vital support to meet the needs of the CF community.
Please support me!
Your participation will help us get one step closer to ending this terrible disease. Let’s make CF stand for Cure Found.
