PLEASE DON'T LET THIS POST DROP
Below is a post from a yahoo group called cfparents. CF is a genetic disease that causing the slow destruction of the lungs. The patient ends up literally suffocating to death. I wonder if some of you could figure out a way to blast this to the blogs, for this family?

Subject: Lung Transplant
Hey group. My family is at the stage of needing to fund raise for a double lung transplant for my 26 year old brother. They have given him 6 mo. to live without one so we are racing the clock. Any ideas on where to raise $10,000 to get him even on the list then a remaining $40,000 to cover co-pays and expenses.

thank
Christine mother of 7yo with cf and sister of 26yo with cf

1. I was personal friends with
what I believe was the oldest person living with CF, Larry Alexander, a bluegrass musician from Arkansas. He has since passed.

Anyway - Bump.
