Hi everyone!
This weekend my family and I will be participating in the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis. For those of you that do not know, my uncle Brad and aunt Wendy both passed away with this disease. I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to help bring awareness and help in finding a cure for this disease. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Cystic Fibrosis Foundation below. Thank you all so much in advance
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is committed to finding new therapies and ultimately a cure for CF.
About CF:
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States.
More than 10 million Americans are unknowing, symptomless carriers of a defective CF gene.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.
Your support makes a difference.
By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
