2009 Thank You for FREEZIN'  !!!   To All Jumpers & All That Have Supported Us: To WPIX, Channel 11 Larry Hoff and Crew, A&E Dance Studio, Carmel Bagel, Christopher' Deli & Catering, Crystal Clear Pools, Evolution Fitness, FRIENDS, FDNY, Fulmar's Principal, Teachers & Families, Fraser Hardware, Goodrow Fuel & Oil, Stahly's Mahopac Deli, Xpress Printing, and to EVERYONE:    Thank you so much for coming out on Friday, March 27th to publicize the event.  You got the party started.  Thank you for getting out of your very warm beds and coming and jumping in 32 degree weather into the lake and then off to work you all went.  Thanks for going out of your way.  So appreciated. Thank you with all our hearts.  I truly wish there were brilliant words that I can say to that would express our family's gratitude to all that YOU do.  You amazingly Wonderful & Kind people pulled together and because of YOU, we had approximately 250 Jumpers and 133 Landlovers.  YOU helped us raise $102,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Please know that 90 cents of every dollar goes toward research to cure Cystic Fibrosis!   The money you have helped us raise is going toward research on a drug called VX-770 which will help the patients with the G551D gene.  Lucky enough, Jacqueline is one of the patients with the G551D gene, which is only 3% of the CF patients.  This drug will help get rid of the G551D gene which would mean that Jacqueline would no longer have CF.  You need two CF genes to have Cystic Fibrosis.  So the light is at the end of the tunnel.  Thank you for that. Thank you for being Jacqueline's armor in the fight to end this dreadful disease.  We are that much closer to a cure because of all of you.  Because of you, we will watch Jacqueline choose the dress of her dreams to wear to her Prom.  Because of you, we will watch her go to college of her dreams. Because of you, we will simply just watch her live life with her big smile.  There are no words that can express how thankful we truly are for that. So on behalf of our daughter and all the children and young adults suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, we are forever grateful to you. Pudgie and Christine XOXO
