HELP FIND THE CURE... WE CAN DO IT WITH YOUR HELP!
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, Causing it to produce extra unsually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs,and prevents the pancreas from absorbing and breaking down food.Over 75,000 adults and children are effected from this disease, and More than 10 million Americans are symptom less carriers of the defective CF gene. Much progress has been made toward finding a cure for CF, however, the CF Foundation's work is far from over, as precious young lives continue to be lost to this disease. I have been personally affected by CF. My 18 year old Nephew, KC, was diagnosed with CF at a young age and has been struggling with the disease throughout his life. He is an excellent athlete as an All-star baseball player and a standout varsity golfer on his High School Team. Despite the challenges his disease has presented he is determined to excel in his athletic loves and in life. CF has begun to take a toll on his abilities and the hope for a cure is always on his and our minds. At Airgas, we are supporting the CF Foundation by participating in GREAT STRIDES. I will be walking on May 17th in Denver with a large group of my colleagues in honor of KC. Collectively; our team would like to raise more than $1,000.00 for vital CF research. Here is where you can help! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of what ever your budget will allow to help further vital CF research. I have committed to match 25% of the total that I raise as a personal donation. Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click on the link below to make a donation to my fund-raising page where your donation will be credited to my team. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated! Please know that not only would I be grateful for your support, but KC and the tens of thousands of young people who live with CF every day. Your contribution will enable the CF Foundation to take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities in CF research that are now on the horizon. The path to finding a cure for CF is paved with numerous research opportunities—any one of which could have a profound impact on the lives of those with the disease. The only thing standing in the way of a cure is additional money to fund this life-saving research. Your support allows us to give children and adults with CF the quality of life and future they deserve. we can find the cure and you can help...we love you kasey,and we will continue to fight for you..love your family!
