ABOUT SAVE BIG DAVE:
My name is David, I am 25 years old and I have Cystic Fibrosis. SAVE BIG DAVE was started in 2005 by my friend and I. We knew that we didn’t have millions of dollars to donate to disease research, but that awareness is just as important. We decided to use music as a mediam to raise CF awareness. We have raised thousands of dollars over the last few years through benefit concerts and t-shirt sales. I personally want to do my part to help find a cure for the most grave genetic disease known to mankind. Check out some of the bands that help support SAVE BIG DAVE by clicking on their links below and go show them some love.

Facts About CF:
CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Pronunciation: 'sistik fI'browsis

:: One of the most common genetic diseases, especially in Caucasian populations, affects about 30,000 people in the United States. An individual must inherit two defective genes (one from each parent) to have CF. The defective genes cause the body to produce abnormally thick and sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, causes difficulty breathing from mucus accumulation in airways. It can be detected by faulty digestion and a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, which keep the pancreas from breaking down and absorbing foods.

:: Without treatment, CF results in death for 95% of affected children before age 5.

:: The median age for people with CF is 35.1 years

:: About 1,000 new cases of CF are diagnosed each year.

:: More than 95% of men with CF are sterile.

:: CF occurs in approximately one of every 3,500 live births.

:: One in 400 white couples is at risk for having children with CF.

:: Each time two carriers conceive, there is a 25 percent chance that their child will have CF; a 50 percent chance that the child will be a carrier of the CF gene; and a 25 percent chance that the child will be a non-carrier.

:: More than 10 million Americans are unknowing, symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene.

:: The mucus build up can block the bile duct in the liver, eventually causing permanent liver damage in approximately six percent of people with CF.

:: CF appears usually in early childhood where diagnosis is most important.

:: There are more than 1,000 different mutations of the CF gene.

:: A sweat chloride test is the standard diagnostic test for CF. A high amount of salt found in the sweat indicates CF.

:: To help with digestion, many CF patients take enzymes with their meals to help the pancreas break down the food.

:: Adults with CF may also be at risk of having CF-related diabetes and osteoporosis.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently – they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They invent, they imagine, they heal, they explore, they create, they inspire. They push the human race forward. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”.. – Steve Jobs .. ..
