Cystic Fibrosis is one of many serious diseases we're doing advanced research on at my company. I attended a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at the Plaza Club at the Frost Building. I thank Jason Smith for sponsoring, and Brandy Bendele and Hugh Farr of the foundation for arranging this event. And the beautiful Rita Verreos, former Ms. Venezuala, gave a heartfelt speech about this great cause.
Most cases of Cystic Fibrosis are diagnosed when the patient is still a child. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of foundations like this, many of these young people go on to live well past their teens. I urge public awareness to help fight this disease.
