Team Shane
My grandson Shane was born with Cystic Fibrosis a life-threatening disease that has serious health implications for him and the thousands of others born with this defective gene...
Shane recently celebrated his 14th birthday and is doing pretty well considering the day-to-day circumstances he and my son David and daughter-in-law Lorie must deal with...just getting a simple cold or cough could mean time spent in the hospital getting heavy doses of antibiotics...
Twice a day (EVERY DAY) Shane must go through chest compressions and respiratory inhalers to keep his lungs and internal organs free from mucus build-up throughout his body. During the school year he has to get up an hour earlier to do all this...He's a real trooper and while he does not like going through this day-in and day-out, he realizes that this is part of his life and must be done...
To add to Shane's health issues, he is now taking daily Insulin injections for pre-diabetes and to help him gain some needed weight...folks with CF have difficulty gaining and maintaining weight as they have trouble absorbing nutrients for growth...
So that is why I'm asking you to join TEAM SHANE and make a personal donation to CFF and ask your friends and family to do so as well on behalf of my grandson Shane...
Just click on the "Join My Team" button to make a donation and start your own fundraising efforts...Note: In order to ride on this event, you must raise a minimum of $100...If you raise $150 or more, you will receive a long sleeve CF shirt...
The CF Cyle for Life event is being held on Saturday October 11th where we are partnering with 2 Silos Brewery and Bikes & Beer in Manassas, VA...The minimum $100 donation will qualify you for FREE registration to ride with Bikes & Beer...this also includes TWO free beers, a beer glass and a raffle ticket for prizes during the After Party at 2 Silos...
Please help to give Shane and others like him, more years of life...the money you contribute now will help the dedicated doctors and researchers to find the cure for this deadly life-threatening disease...
My family and I and especially Shane, truly appreciate your support...
Thank you
Corey & Ellen Keifetz
