Anytime Fitness of Bozeman…
…is dedicated to the memory of Leslie Stenlund. For 45 years Leslie battled the insidious and vicious disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Her persistent and determined pursuit of health and wellness extended her life well beyond the expectancy for her generation. On Feb. 7th, 2009 Leslie died while waiting for a double lung transplant. While CF ultimately took her life, it never took her spirit and she never gave up hope- neither of a transplant nor a miracle of some sort. As her family we were and continue to be inspired by her refusal to quit, and her zest to live every moment of her life as fully as she could. Our desire is to help others, and to "pay forward" the many that helped us through the years of living family life with a chronic illness. In that light, we are proud to partner with the Dieruf family, and the Cody Dieruf Foundation which does much to support and assist Montanans that still battle CF today. We would be grateful for your support of them as well.
Help us help our own Montana kids and young adults with Cystic Fibrosis. The Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation is now raising funds to help Montana CF kids who live with this disease. Purchase a bronze sculpture, designed by Pam Harrj of Bridger Bronze. This bronze signifies peace, hope, joy, love and is an extraordinary gift symbolic of strength.
Each sculpture sold will come with its own authenticity papers. Place this beautiful sculpture in your home or office and know that through your purchase your money will be earmarked for a Montana child in his/her fight with Cystic Fibrosis.
The Faces of 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.
