Scientists Restore Some Function to Cells from Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Great news for our lil cf-er Kai!

I am so happy that the organization I contract for has a research institute and has the funding to work on such things as cystic fibrosis. When you think about it...the total number of Americans alone with this disease couldn't even fill up our local stadium.

There are an estimated 30,000 people in the US with cystic fibrosis.

Qualcomm Stadium = Baseball capacity: 67544 Football capacity: 60794
Petco Park = Baseball capacity: 46000
Dodgers Stadium = Baseball capacity: 56000

They couldn't even fill Fenway with the number.
Fenway = Baseball capacity: 34218

So, our little K-man who is our precious boy with cystic fibrosis is part of a swell little club.

If you get around to it...we are walking again this year for Kai. First Sunday in May. Save the date! If you can walk with us that would be great! If not, could you sponsor me?
