Cystic Fibrosis - Help Donate to Find a Cure

Before I met Teri (my sister in law) I never knew the details about Cystic Fibrosis. I knew it was a genetic disease, in fact that was the only pre-screening pregnancy test I had done with Jack - but besides that, I was clueless. When Teri and I first started hanging out, I would often ask her about her disease. I didn't want to seem rude, but I wanted to know about it and I felt like I should hear about it first hand. There are many treatments that CF patients have to do on a daily basis and catching the common cold is not just annoying, it can be life threatening. And spending time in the hospital for "tune ups" is an annual occurrence.

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes thick, sticky mucous to build up in the lungs and digestive track.  Currently there is no cure for CF. However, there are many medical advances being made and many new drugs in the pipeline that need funding to get to the next stages.

On May 1st I am walking to cure Cystic Fibrosis. I need your help though. If you could just donate $1, it will make a difference.


And if you need another reason to donate, just go to The Groettum Family and take a look at their cute little one year old, Gavin, and tell me he doesn't deserve the donation!?! I'd put up a picture of Teri, but she'd probably kill me :-)

So whip out that credit card. Justify your payment by not eating out for lunch or dinner for a few days, skip those caribou or starbucks coffees for one week, or just realize that your money is going straight towards research to help find a cure for this disease.

My goal is one of the lowest amounts right now, maybe you will all surprise me and I can raise the bar! We've got less than one month people. DONATE NOW

    PS I deleted my last comment because I typed too fast and spelt some things wrong, ha ha. It was bothering me so I rewrote it with the correct spelling. :) Long day!

    A [url=http://www.treegrid.com/scroll-table.html]scroll table[/url] tabletable row runs horizontally in a line across a table tabletable and is normally made up of several boxes with information [url=http://www.treegrid.com/rows-table.html]rows table[/url]. When you draw a table tabletable on a piece of paper, you are creating columns and rows rowsrows. Each horizontal line of boxes is a different table tabletable row. Often, the row at the top of the [url=http://www.treegrid.com/web-grid.html]web grid[/url] is used to create headers, which tell the reader what information can be found in the boxes below it, also known as the column. For example, the first three boxes in the first row of a table tabletable in a teacher’s attendance book might read "Student's Name," "Present," and "Absent."


    Table rows are commonly used in HTML to create tables and to format a web page. The HTML tag for a [url=http://www.treegrid.com/grid-data.html]grid data[/url] is . Within each row, the tag must be added for each new box the user wants to create in that row. A new table row must be created to move down to the next line [url=http://www.treegrid.com/sort-table.html]sorting table[/url] and start a set of boxes below the first. This example shows a table with three table rows and three table columns.
