Help to fight cystic fibrosis

I am writing to encourage everyone to attend the Valentine Cafe in memory of Emily Hart on Thursday, Feb. 13 from 8 p.m. until midnight in LaFortune.
Emily was a good friend of mine in high school. She lived with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease which affects over 30,000 people in the United States. Despite the harrowing effects of the disease, she was a very accomplished young woman and contributed greatly to her community and school by way of service, leadership and scholastic achievement. Her vivacity and passion for life masked the effects of the debilitating illness she confronted every day. On Feb. 16, 2001, at the age of seventeen, Emily died of complications brought on by cystic fibrosis. A senior in high school, she had been accepted to Notre Dame and may have been a member of the Class of 2005.
The Valentine Cafe is a tribute to Emily's life. The Sophomore Class will be selling gourmet cakes, cookies, cupcakes and hot chocolate, with all proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which works to develop a cure for cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those suffering from the disease. Please stop by and honor Emily's memory by enjoying a treat and contributing to the effort to find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
