As you make your plans for the upcoming year, please consider joining us by volunteering your time or making a small contribution to a group that is near to your heart.

Below we have shared information on one of our favorite organizations, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please take a moment and follow the link to learn how your local chapter is working to heal those living with “65 Roses.”Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year,

  65Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States. A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
