Personal Image Cystic Fibrosis is a fatal genetic disease that affects 30,000 children and young adults in this country. It’s a defective gene that causes the body to produce an abnormal thick mucus. Because of this abnormal amount of mucus growing on Jacqueline’s lungs, we were recently on 3 very strong antibiotics for a month to kill some of the bacteria so that we don’t lose any of her breathing function capacity. She is only 7 years old. Jacqueline is extremely active with dance, soccer and track. In addition she does an hour of Chest Physical Therapy 2 times a day, but yet this mucus still grows. This abnormal mucus leads to chronic and life threatening lung infections as well as impaired digestion. RESEARCH is everything. It’s a matter of life or death and it’s the only means to give Jacqueline the fighting chance she deserves. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO CURE.

Thank you for being Jacqueline's Armor in the fight to end this dreadful disease. We are that much closer to a cure because of YOU. Because of YOU, we will watch Jacqueline choose the dress of her dreams to wear to her Prom. Because of YOU, we will watch her go to the College of her dreams. Because of YOU, we will simply just watch her live life. There are no words that can express how thankful we truly are for that.

So on behalf of our daughter, Jacqueline and all the other children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, were are forever grateful to you.
