Can you help?

A good friend of mine has a one year old son with cystic fibrosis. I'm participating in a fundraising walk later this month--if you're in a position to do any charitable giving please consider this:

He's a beautiful, thus far pretty healthy little guy, and one of Ava's best friends. This is the girl who sent me a plane ticket (she could ill afford) when I was stuck in a battered women's shelter across the country. We've been friends 15 years...besides all that it is a good organization putting over 90% of raised funds directly into research, and treatment gets dramatically improved each year--research funding is crucial. When he was born the life expectancy was 36; one year later it's already risen to 40, so I take that as some solid hope.
Thanks ladies!
