Official 'Twilight' FB Page Administrator Needs Our Help After Sudden Loss Of Family Member on Valentines Day.

On Monday, February 14th co-owner/administrator of the Official Twilight Facebook page Heidi Bennett lost her younger brother due to Cystic Fibrosis. Ryan McLaughlin fought a long and hard battle with this terrible disease and will be missed terribly.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide).

A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
-clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and
-obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
To Learn More about the disease, please visit www.cff.org.

Due to Ryan's sudden and unexpected death, Heidi's family is now facing astronomical medical bills, funeral costs, etc. No parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, etc. should ever have to bury their youngest, and that's why I am reaching out to you all from the bottom of all of our hearts.

There are two ways to help out the McLaughlin family in memory of Ryan McLaughlin: Donate ANY amount to www.cff.org. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is an outstanding organization and every dollar donated is one step closer to finding the cure to this disease. 2. A paypal account has been set up for the McLaughlin family to directly help cover funeral arrangements, hospital bills, etc.
The email address for donations via PayPal is HeidiJoVT@gmail.com .

Thank-You!
