On April 28, 2005, George and Ginny Dieruf lost their amazing daughter, Cody, to her lifelong battle with Cystic Fibrosis. She was 23. Cody was a gifted student, athlete, and ballet dancer, having danced in New York and elsewhere before she gracefully succumbed to CF.
CF is a fatal genetic lung disease that aflicts 30,000 people, mostly children, in the U.S. In the Bozeman, Montana area alone there are currently 12 children who are afflicted with CF.
Following Cody's death, Ginny and George established the Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing much needed financial support for the Bozeman area children and families struggling to cope with this terrible disease. Please feel free to give us a call or visit BreathinIsBelievin.org if you are interested in learning more about this wonderful organization that is doing so much to help our local CF kids and their families.
