I was just informed of this website today <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://breathefightlive.org/">http://breathefightlive.org/</a> It was started by the brother of someone with CF. I am highly encouraged by this site, and very excited to learn of it's existance.

I'm not sure of it's non-profit status, although I do know that they intend for it to be a non-profit organization (which requires public access to their financial records, and also allows a tax deduction for those donating). I have put an email into the "team" to get a little more information. The non-profit application status is time consuming, so my thinking is that maybe they want the site up and running for those who will consdier a donation without that status, or that they want to get the site circulating as soon as possible.

I just wanted to share this with everyone here. Many of us know firsthand the heartache and difficulty that comes with learning that having your "own" child (whether it be a biological through IUI/IVF or adopted child) is not as easy as it should be. Add to those emotions the financial burden of either adoption or IVF, and it's easy to see how one can feel hopeless.

Please consider forwarding this to everyone in your email contact list. I know some of us are in a position to help, even $1 makes a difference, and I know others are not in a position to help. Please know that just by forwarding this site to 1 person, you are helping to make a difference!

I guess I'm getting a tad emotional here as I reminisce of my own IVF struggles and my own feelings of hopelessness and heartache. I'm not sure I ever really said it, but I owe a HUGE thank you and a lot of grattitude to all of you who helped me during my time of need, who were just simply there to hear about another turn of events in our journey to have children. Thank you to all those who were there, who have been there and who will continue to be there for all of us traveling down this road.
