A Big Thank You

The Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation wants to give thanks to the Greg and Cindy Kindschi family for their most kind donation in honor of there parents, Richard and Carmen Kindschi from Wisconsin. They both fell at their home 6 days apart in June, 2011 and passed away 26 days apart in August, 2011at 79 years of age.

Through life, Richard and Carmen have contributed to helping organizations and taking care of others, and through death, their family felt it fit that they contribute to CDBF. Richard passed away due to pulmonary fibrosis and was on supplemental oxygen for over 5 years. Carmen passed away due to pulmonary embolisms and other factors. Their kids and grandkids wanted to continue to help with pulmonary disorders by donating $5,000 to the CDBF cause, Breathin' is Believin'.

This contribution is a gateway to helping Montana children and young adults who live with Cystic Fibrosis. Because they understood what it is like to live with a lung disease, the family is reaching out to others.

Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive disease. There is a need in Montana for financial assistance. Richard and Carmen will be remembered by many. Their lives continue on through those who are living with Cystic Fibrosis.

Thank you for your support of the Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis

Raising money for our Cystic Fibrosis families is hard work but so much fun to see the results. Our family finds it so fulfilling in helping families who live with Cystic Fibrosis. Just as our daughter, Cody, lived, we want our families to find comfort in knowing that they have financial help, along with emotional support, and educational and cultural opportunities. Cody would be so proud to know that families in our communities are living and finding hope with this disease.

This year, our Foundation formed the "grant a wish" program. This years recipient went to Eli, his wish, a 650 Kowasawki KLR Motorcycle.

A very rewarding moment in the presentation of this bike. We could not do this without the help of our community, our families, friends, volunteers, board members, business sponsors, and all who believe in our cause. A huge thank you to all.
