Personal Image Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to follow the links! For those who happened upon this page by chance, 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 5 year old daughter Ellie. This is Team Ellie LA's third walk, our first year we raised almost $1200 and last year we raised $2700! As every year, we're joined by the rest of my family with Team Ellie's in Washington, Maryland, Florida and Arizona!

I'm offering commissions to anyone who donates $50 or more to Team Ellie! Just send me an e-mail before or after you donate to talk about your drawing.

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 at the 2008 San Diego - DeAnza Cove - East Mission Bay walk on 05/17/2008. Please help me meet my fund-raising goal of $2,000.00 by sponsoring me. 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.

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!

Below is a list of donors who have donated to support me. Thanks to everyone for your support!
