Everyone is welcome! A percentage from dine-in, carry-out, and delivery is donated for this wonderful cause- Cystic Fibrosis.
Carol who is organizing this fundraiser wrote- We have 2 grandsons in Rapid City with CF. It is a genetic disease that causes their lungs to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus. Because of this they are prone to get life-threatening lung infections. It also affects their digestive system. They must do two breathing treatments each day all their life and take artificial enzymes with meals or snacks.
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and progressively limits the ability to breathe.
In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.
