May 18: Ricky Byington Fundraiser

Ricky's Fight for Life: "Breathing Comes With a Price"
Ron Byington's son, Ricky, needs a double lung transplant, which could cost as much as $543,900. 
Here are Ricky's words:
"Well it's finally time to take the next step in my journey. My path that God has laid out for me now involves getting a double lung transplant. I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when I was born. I've been told once before that I have one year left to live and that was when I was 19. I was wheelchair bound and not so full of life on the transplant list. Then somehow, I bounced back. I was put on hold on the list. That lasted another 11 years which brings me to today. Back on the list again. This time though I think it's my time to actually get the transplant. I have things I want to do. I want to bike ride for hours. I want to walk the trails. I want to see the great pyramids of Gaza. Yet after everything, I still believe I am extremely blessed. My family and friends have made my life full of great memories. That I will cherish forever. I'm not sure I'd have this type of outlook on life if I didn't have CF."
