Here’s what Julie McCaffrey of Rochester Hills, MI wrote about her hero Emily
Rocks Cystic Fibrosis Through Bike Rides and Concerts
Emily is the absolute definition of a real hero. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 18 months, her parents were told she would not live to see high school. Now in her 20s, Emily has made it her mission in life to bring awareness to this disease and has proven herself to be an inspiration to patients, parents and family members. She founded her own organization (www.letsrockcf.org) and does a bike ride from Detroit to Chicago every year to raise money for cystic fibrosis research. She also does an amazing benefit concert, where all of the money raised goes to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for its use in researching this disease. To say she is a hero is an understatement. She is an inspiration, a lifesaver, the most inspiring and entertaining person you will EVER meet ... my life and my daughter's (a four-year-old CF patient) life are forever blessed because Emily has been introduced into them. She is a hero. She is amazing and will continue to touch lives every single day.
