Only 24 Hours Left...

... until Matt Arch's 30th Birthday Fundraiser. 

Matt Arch is a great mentor of mine who has dedicated his birthday to raising money for Cystic Fibrosis.  Help him reach his goal of $3,000 by tomorrow night! Donate here!

Here's just a little bit about Cystic Fibrosis and the CF Foundation

Cystic fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now -- more than ever -- to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research.

When the Foundation began in 1955, most children with CF did not live to see their first day of elementary school. Today, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is in the mid-30s. This is remarkable progress, but not good enough. We continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.

Matt's endeavor brings back memories of my 16th birthday party. Five of my friends and I had a birthday party and asked for donations to give to Pittsburgh Action Against Rape. We raised several hundred dollars and created a lot of awareness among people our age about the work that PAAR does. 

Using an exciting event, like a milestone birthday, to fundraise is a great way to get people involved and create awareness. 

Best of luck in the homestretch Matt!
