Please Help Mike

When Michael Young was only two months old, he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic lifelong lung disease for which there is no cure. He was in and out of the hospital for most of his childhood and his parents were told he would not live past age 18. The good news is that he has lived more than double that amount. The bad news is that his disease has progressed to the point of needing a double lung transplant within one year in order to survive.

Mike is a very creative, loving guy who has a great sense of humor and a warm sincere smile. He makes everyone who meets him feel special and important. Always a hard worker, Mike got his first job at 16 years old and worked in the restaurant business for 11 more years until he became permanently disabled by Cystic Fibrosis. He enjoys bike riding, cooking, playing cards, putting together model cars, doing yard work, watching movies and going to thrift shops with me (his girlfriend of 2 1/2 years) and loves spending quality time with my two children, the children he never had. Mike has been a Juggalo since 1996. Whoop Whoop! He is also a die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan.
