                  Ten Years of Hoping, Praying and Working for a Cure

Cure4hannah.com was created to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis by sharing the story of one little girl in Mason, Ohio struggling with the disease.  Hannah Donoghue was diagnosed in February 2001.  Over the last ten years Hannah has been hospitalized several times for a total of 97 days.  She has taken approximately 80,000 pills, 7 gallons of inhaled medications, 81 pounds of miralax, 6600 squirts of rhinocort, 28,000 units of insulin for a total of 4400 shots.  She has had 6 PICC lines, four bronchoscopies, one sinus surgery, and has spent 2900 hours receiving respiratory therapy either by being pounded on by hand or by a vibrating vest.  Cost for all this is rapidly approaching 1 million dollars.

In May 2001, our team Hannah’s Bananas walked in our first Great Strides Walk to cure CF raising over $9000.  Since our first walk we have raised over $130,000 and have walk teams in Cincinnati, Dayton and Mason.

To help Hannah and all those suffering from cystic fibrosis you can make a donation via this website by clicking on one of our links.  You can also join us for one of the Great Strides Walks and can find that information on our site as well.  All donations are tax deductable with nearly 90 cents of every dollar going directly to research.
