A greater purpose

Caroline Benton, participant throughout the 80′s and early 90′s writes : “My 7 yr old son has Cystic Fibrosis. In his diagnosis I’ve found a greater purpose for my life. I am a active advocate and fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and have been invited to join the Family Advisory Board for our state’s children’s hospital. With these activities I am able to help so many families and children. I am very happy. Additionally, I work for Blackbaud, a software company that writes programs for non-profits…so I get to spend my days helping people who help others. Very rewarding.”  What a positive legacy!
