 Hello Everyone!

We are reaching out to you, our family, friends and colleagues, in support of our efforts to raise funds and find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. As you may know, our niece, Caroline, was diagnosed with CF when she was 5 months old. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs leading to chronic lung infections and fatal lung damage. This mucus also clogs the digestive organs, prohibiting proper digestion and causing malnourishment. There is no cure. To learn more about CF and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, please see below*

Caroline is now 27!! SheShe is preparing to begin her graduate studies in social work this fall. We are so proud of her accomplishments and of how she has blossomed into a brilliant, thoughtful and generous woman despite all of the many challenges that she faces every day. We are so proud of her as she continues to expertly manage all the many things that she must do every day to keep herself healthy. 

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day just to live and breathe. Our team walks for all of them, but especially for our sweet Caroline. We hope you will support us in our efforts to raise funds for crucial research.          

Thank you,

Jill (and my family)
