About me!

After writing my first post on this blog, I realized I haven't introduced myself. For safety reasons, I will only share my name and email address. My name is Mostin Hu. Although I do not have cystic fibrosis, I have found that cystic fibrosis has made it into my life, whether it is in the book I am reading, the show I'm watching on television, everywhere I look, I find cystic fibrosis is there in some way, and I feel I must spread awareness of this disease, and try to raise awareness. Back to my introduction: In my spare time, I like to crochet, so it suddenly hit me to start a blog in attempt to sell the things I crochet, and why not take advantage of the extra crocheted things lying around the house, and raise money for cystic fibrosis! I will try to update this blog as much as I can when I have new products, and excuse me if my posts talk about something else, like about my two cats, dog, or about animal rights. On occasion, part of the money will be donated to animal societies, and I will make it clear, but most of the  time, 100% and I mean it, will be donated to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. You can contact me at mostin.a.hu@gmail.com. This post is getting pretty long, I'll write another post soon, keep checking in.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello and thank you for visiting my new blog. I created this blog to raise money for cystic fibrosis, as well as spread awareness for this deadly disease. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is genetic inherited disease that affects the respiratory, digestive and reproductive system. Though it affects 1 in 3,600 births in Canada, it is a relatively unknown disease. Thick mucus builds up in the lungs and intestines, resulting in frequent lung infections and failure to absorb necessary nutrients. Symptoms of cystic fibrosis may include: a chronic loose cough, lack of weight gain, diffuculty digesting food. There are treatments to relieve symptoms and their severity, but unfortunately, there is no cure or government funding for research. Those that have cystic fibrosis are only expected to live into their late thirties. That's why I want everyone to at least know there is a disease called cystic fibrosis. If everyone  in Canada could donate just one dollar to a cystic fibrosis foundation in their country, I can't say how much that would benefit those affected by this awful disease. Please consider donating or purchasing one of my handcrafted crocheted projects, 100% of the money collected will go to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
