The Girl Scouts of Lafayette Troop 32790 recently participated in the Cystic Fibrosis Climb for Life. The girl scouts organized their own team and joined with over 100 other climbers, including the Cal Rugby team, to climb up the 40 floors of One Sansome Street in downtown San Francisco. Funds raised by the climb went to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help find a cure for the nation's number one life-threatening genetic disease. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive systems of about 30,000 children and young adults in the United States. The girls selected this particular charity because CF is a disease that affects other kids. Climbing the stairs was hard work and put the girls out of breath, but all agreed that it gave them an appreciation for what it must be like to have this terrible disease. Although tired after the climb, the girls felt good about making a difference in the lives of the kids who live everyday with CF.
