Hope Rising 2024 Come on out for an evening of Great music!
Our 8th annual Hope Rising Concert will be held at Ascension Lutheran Church, 13725 Shelbyville Rd on November 9th at 7:30pm. It will feature Todd Hildreth on piano, Tom Walsh on saxophones with Chris Fitzpatrick on Bass and Terry O’Mahoney on Drums. Admission is free. Donations will be requested to support finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary respiratory and digestive disease with no cure.
Hayden will be 22 years old October 13 and is in his senior year at Georgia Tech where he has excelled as a student. We are grateful for this. When he was born, we could never have dreamed that he would reach this point in life, but a lot has changed since he was born. Cystic Fibrosis Research has been successful in developing new treatments that have improved the quality of life for CF patients and life expectancy has increased from about 30 years to the mid-50s.
However, Hayden must spend more than an hour a day on breathing treatments and take nearly 30 pills per day to maintain his health and despite the advances, the threat of potentially fatal infections or diseases like diabetes still exists. This brings uncertainty and anxiety for CF patients and their families. This will not change until a cure is found for CF.
A CURE FOR CF IS NEEDED!
Fund raising for CF Research continues to be critical. We are hopeful that you will attend the concert and support research to find a cure for CF.
