Megan,You can contact the CFF to get info and to offer to volunteer. Ask what fundraisers are comming up or see if your school or religious organization will help you organize a furndraiser. We cannot beat this illness without funding for research. Maybe you can do something in honor of Kristy, like start a team for the CF walk Greatstrides or do some kind of sporting tournament and donate the proceeds to the CFF. It is a giving heart that wants to help. Good luck!Andreavisit our site http://groups.msn.com/TeamRachelJane

Hi, my name's Katie. I'm 12 yrs old with CF. I'm so sorry about your friend. I'll tell you what I know about this genetic disease.-It's genetic (you can get it if both your parents are carriers)-It affects the lungs, pancreas, and liver.-Some symptoms are salty sweat, coughing, and stunted growth.Some things you can do to help are -create a team, raise $, and donate it to the CFF at Greatstrides (a walk to raise $ to help find a cure)-ask your school to host a bottle & can drive and donate the $ to the CFF.-have your school do a penny drive (everyone puts spare cash in a huge jar) and send the outcome to the CFF.Again, sorry about your friend.
