A MESSAGE FROM Raising Money & Awareness for Cystic Fibrosis!
My bestie Jon Koffler has been living with Cystic Fibrosis or CF his entire life. I have chosen the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) as this years fundraiser in honor of him. Together, we are hoping to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis!
Since its creation, the foundation has doubled the life expectancy for patients with CF!!! That means Jon is living a lot longer than patients before him. I will forever be grateful to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for giving my best friend a longer, fuller life.
I'm sure you're thinking, "wait a second Courtney, I don't even know what that is!" Well you came to the right place! Cystic Fibrosis is "a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time" (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation). That definition is just the tip of the knowledge iceberg. If you want to learn more about CF and the foundation, visit http://cff.org!
Why is this foundation so amazing? Because their number one goal EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. is to cure Cystic Fibrosis! WE WANT A CURE, WE DON'T WANT A BAND-AID. Other ways the foundation is amazing include:
-funding research and drug development
-promoting individualized treatment
-ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care
Who wouldn't want to donate to a great foundation like that?
Whether you came to my page to get more information or you came to donate, Jon & I thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Our goal is not just to raise money, but to spread awareness!
