Welcome!

It's spring already and time to raise a little money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I hope you will join us in this cause that is so near and dear to our hearts.

Our Julia was diagnosed at four months of age with cystic fibrosis. She would not be with us today without the medicine and breathing treatments that are a vital part of her life on a daily basis. We are so grateful for the many therapies that have only been a result of money raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Dr. Bruce C. Marshall said it best, "Money buys science and science buys life."

Julia is currently participating in a clinical trial for Cayston, a very new medicine used to treat pseudomonas in cystic fibrosis patients. We hope with this research that Cayston will become available to children under the age of seven in the United States and to all cystic fibrosis patients in Europe. Studies like these are only made possible through money raised by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Money does indeed buy science!

We are so close to a cure. With the recent FDA approval of Kalydeco we now have a small percentage of cystic fibrosis patients enjoying the benefits of a medicine that actually targets the root cause of this disease and not just the symptoms. We will not stop until we find a cure for all people suffering from cystic fibrosis.

We hope you will join us in this cause!

I'd like to leave you with this year's Great Strides video. Be sure to close the google ad ;) Enjoy!

Thanks for your continued support.
