The island city of Key West, Florida – the southernmost point in the U.S. � is a world renowned tourist�attraction, and a favorite stop for cruise ships. Lesser known is how �America�s Caribbean� welcomes�frum families suffering from cystic fibrosis from throughout North America, affording them much-�needed relief � both physical and emotional.

Straddling the border of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, Key West is a uniquely aquatic and high�salt environment. This combination has been medically proven to loosen the mucus of cystic fibrosis�patients � making it easier to breathe; increase appetite; and reduce lung infections occurrences by�about half. Cystic fibrosis unfortunately does not yet have a cure, and simply breathing Key West air�provides the greatest relief out there.

Nestled in the heart of Key West is a beautiful therapeutic respite home – fully furnished, and equipped�with a swimming pool, kosher food and entertainment � that was purchased and renovated by Child Life�Society. The Lifeshine Respite Program of Child Life Society offers fully sponsored trips for cystic fibrosis�families, who are hosted in the therapeutic respite home.

Due to logistical and medical considerations, only one family can stay at a home at once. Child Life�Society is the midst of renovating a second home in Key West, which will significantly increase the�number of families who can enjoy this life-altering relief.

In just three weeks – August 22 nd and 23 rd � members of America�s frum communities will converge upon�Key West in order to enjoy �The Greatest Catch�, an exciting fishing tournament to benefit the second�Lifeshine Respite Home. Participants will board professionally staffed fishing boats as teams, and�compete in various categories: heaviest fish, longest fish, most fish, ugliest fish and smallest fish. The�tournament will involve an extraordinary amount of fun, team work and fulfillment. All anglers will be�hosted in a 4 star hotel in Key West and enjoy a rich program complete with gourmet meals and an�awards ceremony.

It is unfortunately common for this genetic disease to afflict more than one child per family. Child Life�Society�s therapeutic respite trips are fully sponsored for the entire family – two parents and all children�- so that everyone can relax and rejuvenate together in this remote oasis. And the therapeutic effects�last for 6-8 months after the families return home!
