GREAT STRIDES WALK FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS SUNDAY MAY 18TH 11AM

LAKEWOOD ROD AND GUN CLUB

Dear Friends and Family,

Well it is that time of year again when our thoughts turn to the annual Cystic Fibrosis Great

Strides walk. As you know, every May our family participates in the walk to support the research for a cure to Cystic Fibrosis. Nearly every year we struggle trying to keep Brynn healthy and we are so thankful there are new medications and new ways to administer her current medications to makes our lives easier.

This year Brynn was able to participate in cheerleading, basketball, softball, dance, band, and chorus and was able to have a major role in the schools production of the Seussical musical. (We kept our fingers crossed that she wouldn’t be sick during the musical and she was able to make it through!) We are confident that she wouldn’t be able to participate in all that she does without the past research and advances in her medications.

Statistics show that kids with CF are living longer lives every year. As CF isn’t a common disease the vast majority of funding for the research comes from donations from people like you. This is why once again we are asking for your support to this cause which is so near and dear to our hearts.

Donations can be sent to the address below (made out to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation) or you can go to the following web address to make a secure donation online.
