The Marilyn D. Roman Memorial Fund

It is with gratitude and appreciation that we accept contributions being made in memory of Marilyn D. Roman (Illinois). Before Marilyn's passing (February 28, 2011) she designated the Lungs for Life Foundation to receive contributions in her memory and in lieu of flowers.

We learned Mrs. Roman's nephew, Todd, has cystic fibrosis (CF) and had a successful transplant (TX) in St. Louis -he is now 30 years old. This personal connection to both CF and transplant is why she desired for memorial contributions to be made to the Lungs for Life Foundation.

The Marilyn D. Roman Memorial Fund has been set up to receive contributions that will allow the Lungs for Life Foundation to assist cystic fibrosis individuals and families with both pre- and post- transplant expense needs.

All donations received under this fund will be acknowledged to the Roman Family.

Two Inspiring Videos for the CF Community

Brian Gerofsky passed away from cystic fibrosis in May 2009 at age 57.

In this heartwarming video, his wife of 26 years and his two sons share
their fond memories of Brian.

Through them, we meet a man of strength and courage, and deep love for his
family.

Remembering Brian -A Wonderful Husband and Loving Father

The song "Breathe" is about the search for a CF cure.

It was written by the talented English singer/songwriter Matt Scales, who
lost his battle with CF two years ago.

CFvoice brought three U.S. singers with CF together to create an inspiring
remix of this song.

In Memory of David Messmer

Today, I came to work intent on a celebratory post of someone's transplant anniversary and ironically, I learned a dear friend, colleague and Lungs for Life supporter had passed away.

David Messmer, aged 51, died August 1st at Duke University Hospital. For those of you who knew Dave, he had cystic fibrosis and received a double lung transplant many years ago. Recently, he went to Duke for a lung re-transplant, yet a few short weeks later he developed pneumonia.

David will be missed dearly. Please take a moment today and remember Dave.
