QUICK BACKGROUND

Nearly 1-1/2 years ago my granddaughter, Keria, was diagnosed with 
Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a life threatening genetic disease that in the 
1920's meant a CF kid's life expectancy was 6 months, in the 1950's 
it was 7 years old, today it's  only 30 years old (still less than 
half of the average person's).

Recently, a close friend of mine decided open a special account for 
Keira on her first birthday.  This fund will be used for Keira's 
medical expenses and, if we're lucky, college.

THE AUCTION

Click the above link to visit Keira's silent auction and meet her and 
her mom. There are also links to more pictures and stories as well as 
more info about Cystic Fibrosis.

The auction has turning tools, carving tools, hand tools, blacksmithing tools.

If you'd like to participate (bid) in the auction, you will need the 
registration code: 'nostalgia123' without the quotes.

Finally, my friend also wrote the auction software (he's a programmer 
at his day job) so if you encounter any issues feel free to email him 
immediately "joefish75(at)hotmail.com" and he'll make the needed changes.

Thank you all!
