So the requests for your support year after year comes as no surprise. <BR><BR> <CENTER><P style="font-family:verdana;font-size:140%;color:navy;align:right;"><B>However, if this is the first time you have been touched by one of my requests, please let me explain.</B></P></CENTER> <P style="font-family:verdana;font-size:80%;color:navy;align:right;">Cystic Fibrosis touched our family over seven years ago as we learned that our 3 year old nephew was a victim of the disease. Then, as time passed and we learned more about this terrible, insidious disease, and the suffering of all the youngsters affected by CF, the cause touched our hearts. <BR><BR> <B>Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States, most of whom are too young, too inarticulate, and too preoccupied with their efforts just to survive the daily treatments and therapies that they must endure, to be able to reach out for help on their own.</B> <BR><BR> The unfortunate truth is that <B>there are also another 11,000,000 carriers of the defective gene</B> who are not even aware that any offspring they have are at high risk of suffering from the disease itself. Unless a cure is found that will help to make life normal for those already suffering and reduce the new cases that are added to their numbers every year, there can be no end to it all. <BR><BR> And so, it is up to those of us who are able, and aware, to do what we can to help make their case for them. I hope you will join with us as we try to do our part in that battle. Any donation you can offer will certainly be appreciated.
