Wanting to Help Raise $ for the CFF

<br>Last year my daughter, then 10, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I had watched her suffer for 10 years trying doctor after doctor and medicine after medicine. As heartbreaking as the diagnosis was, it was so nice to finally find out what was going on with her. When she was diagnosed her lung function was 40%, probably due to never having treatment before she was nearly 11 years old. I blamed myself at first, for not pushing harder when I always had a gut feeling that something else was going on, but then I realized part of the problem is that not many people who aren't touched by CF in someway or another actually know what it is. I decided to start making awareness jewelry. At first I gave the jewelry away as Christmas gifts, etc. but before long I started getting requests to sell them. Since my father was diagnosed with Leukemia during the same two weeks my daughter was going through the process of the CF diagnosis, I started out with CF and Leukemia awareness. I recently started a page on Facebook Called Breath of Hope Jewelry. I donate a portion of all Awareness sales to charities like the CFF. Please come by and check it out <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I also started a GREAT STRIDES team, called Kaitlyn's Crusaders. I am sure most of you have or are involved with a GREAT STRIDES teams yourselves, but if not, please feel free to check out our GREAT STRIDES pages (as we did 2 walks) as well!
