Chad Everett was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a baby, and doctors never gave him much of a chance to live a long life.  Chad was determined to make it to his 21st birthday, and today Chad can celebrate beating all the odds.

Chad's mom Michele has heard that her son wouldn't make it much longer more than once from doctors, but Chad keeps proving them wrong.

Chad set a personal goal to see his 21st birthday, and now Michele is asking all of us to help him celebrate.

She is asking us to send birthday cards to Chad to help him celebrate beating all of the odds.  So far the family has gotten just under 350 cards, and I think that number should be way higher.

Chad and his family deserve so much more than cards.  While most of us wake up today and complain about how cold it is, or how much we don't want to go to work . . . think about Chad and his family.  Think about how every single day we wake up, and can touch our loved ones.  All of a sudden, a simple birthday card doesn't seem like such a struggle.

If you would like to bring a card to the station, I will personally deliver them to Chad's family or you can send them through the mail, Chad's address is listed below.
