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?
serenesky12@yahoo.com Yahoo! DomainKeys has confirmed that this message was sent by yahoogroups.com. Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 18:37:12 -0700 (PDT) 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
