Thank You for your interest in my CFF Fundraising effort. Please take a few minutes to read the following, or simply make your donation now.
I'm walking as a tribute to my friend Mike Ceglarski, who passed away on 1/31/13, after surviving Cystic Fibrosis his entire life. Mike was just 13 days short of his 46th birthday. God Bless him. May God hold him in the palm of His hand.
As you can see in his picture, Mike was a huge sports fan. In fact, so much so, that he insisted that he’d be buried in his Blackhawks jersey. And, he was. I’m sure he’s cheering them on, from above, to another championship season.
Some might say Mike lost his battle to Cystic Fibrosis on Jan 31 of 2013. I feel differently. With seemingly endless treatments and countless hospital visits, Mike turned back and defeated this disease repeatedly. In the end, I’d like to think that he didn’t lose, but rather, Won his place in heaven. I’m sure it’s a very high place, too, prime seating.
During his life, Mike worked hard to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, so that those currently suffering with this debilitating disease could live a longer, fuller, more comfortable life, and so that future generations would not need to endure the limitations, pain, and suffering that he had to endure.
I’m asking for your help to raise money in Mike’s memory that will help create a better future for people living with CF.

You are welcome to come walk with us this year!

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That's why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! THANK YOU for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES!
