Hi, my name is Daniel Casper and I'm writing on behalf of myself and my wife, Linda Sone. We're both Minneapolis Fire Fighters and February 7th, 2009 will mark the 5th year in a row that we've climbed the IDS Tower in an effort to raise funds and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We'll be leading a team of dedicated Minneapolis Fire Fighters. Last year we had more than 30 fire fighters take part. Minneapolis Fire will be going head to head against over 10 other public safety teams from around the state. We're proud to say that we have won the team competition for the past four years. This year, our goal is not just to climb the fastest, but to be the top fundraising team. Please help us reach our team goal of $10,000 by donating to the CFF in my name. Thanks for your generosity.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now—more than ever—to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research. 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 cystic fibrosis. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!
