Hi, I'm Debra and I'm raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults, and may result in early death

Research has come a long way in treating CF and has extended the life expectancy of people diagnosed with CF to approximately 35 years.

Georgia is one of the few states that include testing for cystic fibrosis in the state newborn metabolic screen. This means that every infant born in Georgia gets tested for this disease. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the better the outcome.

You can read more about CF through the link on the left.

I'm coming to you to ask for your help. Please make a donation directly to the CFF through my page and I will dedicate minutes of shimmy time equal to the amount you donate just to you or to a love one that you specify.

For my friends who don't bellydance: The only shimmy allowed is the knee-hip shimmy. Try it yourself. Stand tall with feet hip width apart, knees bent. Now pump your knees back and forth very fast, keeping your heels on the ground. Loosing the glutes so you get the jiggle :) Still don't get it? Here is a video from the FitTv show Shimmy.

Now see how difficult that can be? How long do you want me to shimmy? The more you give, the more I do.
