Today is Julia’s birthday. Julia is turning 7 years old. Happy Birthday, Julia. Julia and her family were featured in this story.
I have to admit, I have a soft spot for children and their families who are struggling with debilitating disorders. And I admire the fighting spirit that children seem to universally possess. I got into this field when my father was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease). I believe dealing with a father’s disease could not compare to that of your child’s.

Julia is going to participate in the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago’s 2008 Hike for Lung Health. She has set a fundraising goal and I want to help her reach that goal. If each person who reads this article would donate $10.00 to Julia’s effort along with $10.00 to chILD Foundation, you would be doing so much more than that for her and her family’s spirit.

We need your help in raising money for chILD and other lung diseases as well as educating people. We are helping to make a difference by participating in this year’s 2008 Hike For Lung Health! Julia will be doing a one mile walk around the Sulphur High School track before one of the upcoming home football games. (Date to be announced).
Thank you for your support as Julia challenges herself not only in participating but also by raising money for this very worthwhile cause.

I’m in. What about the rest of you Sulphur boys? And don’t pretend your only going to send ten bucks.

Zane Thanks buddy!!! You’re on my A list.
Thanks guys for wanting to help Julia out. It is really sweet because she says she is doing it to help the little kids who have to wear oxygen all the time…..”I only have to wear mine at night and on airplanes”.
