Cure Cystic Fibrosis!!


Check out our videos!

the problem:

I want to raise awareness and find a cure for the life-threatening disease called cystic fibrosis!!

vital stats:

people impacted:

500

people involved:

1

why it's important:

I personally have the disease, and a lot of people don't know what it is. I definitely want to let people know more about it and raise money so someday there will be a cure.

the plan of action:

November 13, 2009 I brought a motivational speaker, John O'Leary to my school. The community and students were invited to attend. I first told my scary story about CF and then he talked about overcoming challenges, and that people like me need all the support they can get! I am currently doing a school wide fundraiser and have so far raised $3,000!!

how you can get involved:

Donate or tell people more about the chronic disease.
