Issue Highlights

DETROIT/ 14

Hillel's board
comes to a decision
on the move.

For some children, visions
of growing up may be
simply that. Visions.

Children with cystic fibrosis want to grow up. They
have dreams of the future just like every other child.
More than half of them will live into their twenties, but
that's when life should be beginning not ending.
You see, cystic fibrosis is an hereditary disease that
attacks a child's lungs and makes it very hard to breathe.
Eventually, it's fatal. And there is no cure. So far.
But there is hope. Recent discoveries in genetic
research can lead to stopping cystic fibrosis once and
forever.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports this research.
But we need your help. The money you give today will be
used immediately to continue the research. And it will go a
long way in helping find the cure.
Your gift of $15, $25, or even more will give a child
more than just a vision of hope. Give the future... call
