Hi Everyone -

Julia will be turning 1 year old on April 19th and over the past year, as parents of a child with CF, we have learned how fortunate we are to have such an amazing organization like the CF Foundation fighting for better treatments and a cure. Julia's medicines and treatments are available today as a direct result of the research advances made by the CF Foundation.

This year we would like to take a more active role in raising money for such a wonderful cause. Please join us as we take part in 3 Great Strides Walks for "Team Julia Emmert and her Pink Cubs"!!! These events will be a lot of fun and a great chance to get together. Please note that Great Strides hosts walks throughout the U.S. in case you can't make it to any of these 3 locations.

Kirby Park, Wilkes-Barre - Sat May 2nd

Philadelphia Zoo - Sat May 9th

Valley Forge (Perkiomen Trail) - Sun May 17th

Also, Narberth CF Run - Sat. April 25th - 9am (Note - not affiliated with Great Strides.......www.narberthrun.com)

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. Please help us meet our fund-raising goals. 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!

Sincerely, Chris and Christine Emmert
