Great Opportunity for Siblings of children with CF!
Applications Now Available for CF Sibling Teen Advocacy Day, June 23-24, 2010
Brothers and sisters of those with cystic fibrosis know first hand how CF patients struggle daily with their disease and how important it is to quickly develop promising new treatments and therapies.
That is why the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation invites all teenage siblings of CF patients to apply for participation in CF Sibling Teen Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. on June 23-24, 2010. Because the risk of cross-infection precludes us from bringing a large contingent of teens with CF to Capital Hill, we ask their teenage siblings to come to our nation's capital and lobby on their behalf for policies that make a real difference to the 30,000 children and adults who struggle with CF every day.
To take part in Teen Advocacy Day, participants must be between the ages of 12 and 18 and have a sibling who has cystic fibrosis, and must be accompanied by a parent. Space is limited, and applications will be considered on a first come, first serve basis. Please contact Stephanie Krenrich, (301) 907-2512, at the CF Foundation's National office for more information.
