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

I'd like to invite you to join my team to walk and/or sponsor us at the GREAT STRIDES walk. Come enjoy the food, fun and music while helping make strides in the fight against this life-threatening genetic disease.

Date/Check-in Time: Sarasota - Siesta Key Park, Mar. 14, 2009, 8:00 AM.

When the CF Foundation was established in 1955, children with CF weren't expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Thanks, in large part, to the Foundation Sponsored research, the median survival age for people with this disease is now nearly 37. (Still so young though!) 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 today.

Please help me meet my fund-raising goal. Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the "Click to Donate" button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my team. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated! 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. NOTE, we will still continue to accept donations for a short time after the walk through this website.

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!
