Dear Friends,

Since I am single I have decided to put my singleness to work doing something great, raising money for a terrific cause! I am participating as a bachelor in the 10th Annual Guys and Dolls Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

This is a picture of Vivi, a girl in Charlotte currently living with CF. Though she is doing well now, I want to help make sure that she and all the other children living with this horrific disease continue to grow and thrive. By supporting me, you can help us make a difference in Vivi's life.

Know that your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively—nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now—more than ever—to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the information below.
