GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. I'm the Committee Chairman for this year's Seattle GREAT STRIDES walk at the Seattle Center Mural Amphitheatre on May 18th, 2008. Our team, TORI'S TROOPERS, would appreciate your support to help add tomorrows for our 15-year-old daughter Tori and 30,000 other children and young adults with this disease.

You can help us reach our team goal of $10,000 by registering to walk with us on May 18th as a member of Tori's Troopers and collecting donations from your family, friends and co-workers. The walk is 3 miles long and walkers get a great lunch from Longhorn Barbeque.

You can also make a donation online by clicking the "Click to Donate" button on this page and that will be credited to the Troopers total. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!

Donations will be used efficiently and effectively, as more than $.90 out of every dollar you contribute will be used to fund the vital programs of the CF Foundation.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That's why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES! For more info about Tori's Troopers, go to www.toritimes.com.
