One Father's  journey for his 11 year old son and eight other children with Cystic Fibrosis.

Ron Wrestler is an amazing man with alot of strength and courage. He lives in Alabama and has a foundation called " Caring Now for kids with Cystic Fibrosis " Ron has set out on a mission to hopefully raise $9 million dollars for these extraordinary children who need double lung transplants. For each one of these children to have this operation the cost is around $1 million dollars.

Ron has set out to travel to 49 states breaking boards to raise money for his foundation, he has already went through 23 states and will be ending his tour in New York. Where he is hoping to get on the David letterman show and Good Morning America.  He is hoping to get his story out there and inspire people to give alittle to his cause. Ron currently holds a record for breaking 109 boards in 27 minutes.  After breaking the boards Ron Wrestler then signs the boards and gives them to the businesses that donate to his foundation.

If a  million people would give $9.00 to the foundation then Ron will have succeeded.

This disease affects about 30,000 children and adults in the United States and 70,000 worldwide.
