Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure! (It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts!)
Last January my family and I flew to Florida to celebrate my grandfather's 75th birthday... and we found out he was recently diagnosed with PULMONARY FIBROSIS! This was devistating for our family.
* Pulmonary Fibrosis involves scarring of the lung. Gradually, the air sacs of the lungs become replaced by fibrotic tissue. When the scar forms, the tissue becomes thicker causing an irreversible loss of the tissue’s ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. Over 40,000 people diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis "expire annually," More than the amount of breast cancer cases!!! We need more help funding!!! Please help support research for this cause... for my Grandfather, my family, and the rest of the world who may have a family member or loved one affected by this awful disease! Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!!! Thank you again.... Love, Danielle <3
