can we find 15 people to donate $10 for CF?


Hello!
We hope you are all doing well! Last year with help from family and friends, we were able to raise support for one of Elizabeth's piano students, Caroline Webber, and her sister, Theresa, who have Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Although we realize that economic times are difficult for many, we’re doing our part to help those with CF to continue their efforts to gather the funds vital to maintain the scientific research and drug development necessary to solve and eliminate CF, a life-threatening chronic lung and digestive disease. Theresa and Caroline are only two of the 30,000 young people with CF in the United States and plenty of those children have had a much more difficult year with month-long hospitalizations, lung operations, feeding-tubes, and early death.
We are organizing our team for the May 16th Great Strides walk in Charlotte, NC. If you would like to make a donation to support our Great Strides Team, and join with the Webbers to fight this disease, we would appreciate it so much! Every dollar makes a difference. The CF Foundation receives no federal funding and depends on the generosity of individuals to make a difference in fighting this disease. 90 cents of every dollar is invested in research and patient care. All donations are tax deductible but most of all they are deeply appreciated. All donations should be made out to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. You can make a donation online by going to www.cff.org/great_strides and typing Elizabeth Hildebrand (South Carolina) under “find a walker”.

Thank you!
Jason, Elizabeth, and Robert
