Hi Friends!
Last year I signed Lexie up for her first ballet class at Poise Dance Center... I had no idea that we would meet such great friends there! One of Lexie's best friends at Poise is Emily. Emily and Lexie became fast friends, as did her mom Laura and I. As a fellow stay at home mom she and I always have LOTS to talk about. After getting to know Emily and Laura, Laura informed me that Emily has cystic fibrosis. I had heard the term before, but had no idea about the causes, symptoms, etc. Over the last year I have learned a lot about cystic fibrosis. I am in awe of Laura every day, she is only of the strongest mothers on this planet. Emily is one of the bravest, most resilient, positive kids I know.
This year we are super excited to be able to join their team for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Walk! We hope to be able to raise money towards the fight for a cure! If you would like to donate to our walking team click the link below! We would greatly appreciate it!
Love,
Shelby and Lexie
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.
