Please help our friend, Zoe in her fight against Cystic Fibrosis
Zoe has been fighting Cystic Fibrosis for over 4 years. She is doing remarkably well and is very healthy, but her daily struggles she faces that help maintain her health are very different from many other children her age.
Zoe spends up to two hours each day strapped to a machine that pounds on her chest to help loosen mucus in her lungs. She doesn’t enjoy this physical therapy (PT), but she does it anyway. She also must take about 20 pills a day to help digest her food. Without these, she would not gain weight well, and would spend each day with terrible stomach pains. When she has a cold, she spends many nights coughing continuously. Many children with Cystic Fibrosis spend their days hospitalized.
It is tremendously difficult for Zoe's parent's to ask for support year after year, so we want to help by asking for them. Rest assured that when you contribute to the CF Foundation, your money is well spent on research, not costly administrative overhead. Over $.90 of every dollar raised goes directly to medical research.
Please contribute to Zoe’s team, or better yet – join the team by raising money and walking with us on June 7, 2007. It takes very little time and you are not committed a specific dollar amount, you simply set a goal for yourself.
Right now, doctors give Zoe a 50% chance of reaching age 36. Your help will give Zoe the opportunity to look forward to those things that most of us take for granted - high school graduation, college, marriage, children and hopefully grandchildren.
