Meet my daughter, Faith; the most extraordinary child I know. Faith is a precocious seven year old that is often wise beyond her years. She likes to play with her best friends (her brother and sister) and her babydolls. Faith's past year has been filled with ups and downs. She learned to swim and dive, performed in her first musical and ran the Mickey Mile. She also helped care for her Grandmother, who was battling breast cancer and ultimately lost her in September. Faith is very appropriately named in that she is the kind of Christian we all aspire to be. She is also a very dedicated home school student that works well above her grade level. Like any mother, I suppose, I could go on about her many fine qualities endlessly. All this, she does and is, in addition to the hours of breathing treatments, pills, and therapy she must endure everyday. Faith has Cystic Fibrosis.

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event.

Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.

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!
