Hi . . It's Me Jacqueline

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Hi. . . .It's Me Jacqueline


I'm 9 year's old, and I have Cystic Fibrosis.  Cystic Fibrosis is a fatal genetic disease for approximately 30,000 children and adults in America.  It's a defective gene that causes the body to produce an abnormal thick mucus.  This abnormal mucus leads to chronic and life threatening lung infections and impaired digestion.  CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO CURE.

Please help give me the gift of Time, Hope, and Life and sponsor me in the Great Strides Walk.  Each dollar you donate is a life you touch because research means so much.  The only way we'll ever beat this disease is to step up our fund-raising efforts to help those scientists along.

On July 5th, I will be celebrating my tenth birthday, and when I blow out my candles, I will wish for a day when all of this won't be part of my life:

*  50 minutes of chest PT (on a good day)

*  1 hour of breathing treatments a day (on a good day)

*  5 different medicines a day (on a good day)

*  Pills every time I eat something

*  My coughing waking me up at night

*  Too many visits to the Medical Center

*  Annual IV Tune-Ups at the Hospital to clean out my lungs

*  The fear in my mommy's heart with every cough I take

Please help my wishes come true and grant me many more candle-blowing years.  The median age of survival is 30 years.  I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT.  CAN YOU?  

Would you please consider making a pledge?  Whatever you can afford would be greatly appreciated.  Please make your check payable to "CF Foundation”.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

LOVE YA,

JACQUELINE
