APRIL IS HERE. Can you believe that the year has flown by so quickly? Days pass, weeks blur together and next thing you know, here we are. But we don’t want April fly by without taking a moment to stop and make a difference.
April is National Donate Life Month. Organ and tissue donation is a cause that I believe in and support. CysticLife has teamed up with The Power of Two this month, to shed light on organ and tissue donation and to raise money for The Power of Two Movie, which works to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation globally.
As we all know, organ and tissue transplants play a role in many Cyster’s and Fibro’s lives. Many CFers consider transplant, undergo transplant, and live post-transplant. Therefore, it is the job of the community to discuss, participate and support the cause. This month we are asking the CF community to consider two things:
1. If you have not already, please consider committing to become an organ and tissue donor:

2. Please consider making a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE financial contribution to THE POWER OF TWO in honor of those around the world who are waiting for organ & tissue transplants. GO TO:

A message from The Power of Two:
“As of today, THE POWER OF TWO has over 1,959 fans on Facebook!
(If you haven't already become a fan, please join us at http://tinyurl.com/Powerof2Facebook)
If every fan donated $10 this month, we would raise over $19,000 -- which would provide a major boost for our production of THE POWER OF TWO documentary film as we continue filming through Spring 2010!
Even a SMALL donation of $10 will make a HUGE impact for our project. We can literally move a mountain of media and movie making resources for every $1,000 raised -- if you donate today, you can help us do just that!
PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY, and help us finish the SIGNATURE FILM on organ donation in time for an early 2011 premiere.
THE POWER OF TWO is proud to be fiscally sponsored by the San Francisco Film Society. Make your secure -- and TAX-DEDUCTIBLE -- donation today by clicking on the black and white SFFS logo at:

Thank you very much!”

It has been a while. Thanks for brining awarness to National Donate Life Month. I just received my double lung transplant on March17th! Yup, St Patty's day! I can't tell you what a great gift it was that someone gave me. Because of my donor's and donor's family generousity, I am breathing easy and am going to be able to do all the things that I was missing out on. I know several other CFers that are currently waiting for their miricle to happen and without donor's they will continue to wait. I feel so blessed that my donor thought about another person's life before they passed away. To me that is such an unselfish thing to do. I hope we can make everyone aware of the importance of becoming an organ donor.
Take Care of yourself,
Stephanie
