Trade Up for CF (Cystic Fibrosis)
What is it?
So have you heard the story about the guy who started with a red paper clip and traded it for a pen, then traded the pen for a doorknob? Each time trading up for something more valuable than the last. Eventually he ended up with a house!
True Story!

We want to do the same thing. But with a twist!
We want to "Trade Up for CF" with Cities and Towns across the USA creating their own FaceBook page and focusing on an individual with CF. So if you have someone with CF, please copy this page and create your own "Trade Up for CF" page.
This page is dedicated to John S. Pickering, my nephew who has CF and is loved by all!
Let's see how much value we can create by asking others to join in on our crusade. At the end, we will sell/auction the last item to the highest bidder with proceeds going to benefit CF.
John has a Red Paper Clip. He wants to trade it "up" for something more valuable. What do you have that you are willing to trade?
How does it work? If you like the item listed and have something you are willing to trade for it, then list it in the comments section.
If your item is accepted then we will continue to Trade Up for even more valuable items. In the end, we will auction off the last item and then donate the proceeds to our local CF Chapter.
Please note: It is your responsibility to get with the other person to pick up the traded item. Please PM them with any instructions for pick up/delivery.
Now, who wants to help? Please see the first one for John S Pickering below and help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!
