Karlie Luna is the daughter of Matt Luna. Matt is the current president of the Muskegon Motorcycle Club, and a co-worker and good friend. Many of you on this site also know Matt. He's also one of the craziest dirt bike riders I know. I don't think he's ever worn out a front tire on his CRF450, because it never hits the ground!
If you wish to show your support for Matt and his daughter Karlie, consider joining them to this event. This is cut from my company's web newsletter:
On Sunday, March 13, 7-year old Karlie Luna, daughter of Matt Luna (1835 Tool Room) has a date with the Make-A-Wish foundation of Michigan at the Frauthental Center and Holiday Inn, Muskegon Harbor.
Karlie, a kindergartener, who has cystic fibrosis, will become a special princess for a day. At 2 PM Sunday, arriving in her horse-drawn Cinderella carriage, making a grand entrance, Karlie will attend a coronation ceremony at the Frauenthal with her royal band, royal court, royal family, and even a royal herald, complete with scrolls on hand to celebrate.
To make Karlie's fantasy complete, Make-A-Wish Foundation and her family hope the 1,748-seat Frauenthal Theater will be packed with Karlie's "loyal subjects" cheering her on. Participants will see Karlie crowned "Princess for the Day" by Miss Michigan Kelli Talicska and given an official proclamation on behalf of the city of Muskegon.
Something like this is going to take people two hours out of their Sunday, and they can see the impact immediately on this child. Please join us!! Karlie's mother, Jill Luna, agrees it will take support of the members of our community to make her daughter's wish come true.
Since Karlie was 3-months old, she has lived with cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic, chronic and life-threatening disease that can cause lung infections and digestion ailments. Besides routine doctor appointments, medications and treatments, Karlie's daily regime consists of inhalers twice a day, a nebulizer, taking four pills for her digestive system each time she eats, using a feeding tube to try to help her gain and maintain weight over 35 pounds, and wearing a special vest that shakes her body to break up excess mucus in her lungs.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the disease affects approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. Karlie has been fighting the battle since infancy.
We invite everyone to come out and support Karlie's special day.
