Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to follow the links! For those visiting from random "team ellie" buttons I've been putting up around internet town, I'm Matt, I do the comic Isolated Instances Of Non-Gravity and I'm the team leader for Team Ellie LA.

We're named for my cousin Laura's 4 year old daughter Ellie. This is Team Ellie LA's second walk, last year we raised almost $1200! As every year, we're joined by the rest of my family with Team Ellie's in Washington, Maryland, Florida and Arizona!

March 12th: I've put an original pinup drawing on eBay, all proceeds go to Team Ellie!

March 21st: I'm now offering commissions to anyone who donates $50 or more to Team Ellie! This is a retroactive offer, so if you've already donated send me an e-mail if you'd like a drawing:

Check Non-Gravity.com for updates on our progress and fundraising activities.

Every little bit helps! Thank you!

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. This year, I'm walking in the GREAT STRIDES walk in 2007 Ventura - Promenade Park by Surfer's Point on 05/12/2007. Please help me meet my fund-raising goal of $1,000.00 by sponsoring me. Your generous gift 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.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the "Click to Donate" button on this page to go to make a donation that will be credited to my team. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!

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!
