Through research a cure will be found...in the 1950s the life expectancy of a CF child was a mere 5 years, in the 80s 15 years and today, through research that has found medications to assist with this debilitating disease, their life expectancy is 35. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation relies on funds raised by individuals, families and companies because very little is put into research by pharmaceutical companies due to the fact that only approximately 30,000 people nationwide that have the disease...allocation of funds to find a cure for CF is not high on their list of priorities. Please make it a priority on your list of charities...and PLEASE accept our invitation to contribute and help us create a successful 4th Annual River Rock Music Festival Fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
