My fundraising goal: $10,000.00
Money raised to date:  $2,283.99

Personal Image My wife, Tricia, a 27 year old CF patient, is celebrating one year out from a double lung transplant (surgery on April, 2, 2008). You can learn more about our story by visiting www.ConfessionsOfACFHusband.com

Tricia and I led the organization of the first ever Great Strides Walk on the OBX of NC in September of 2007. Our walk raised over $30,000. Last year's walk raised over $50,000, and we hope to raise even more this year!

Please, consider helping me reach my personal goal of $10,000!

Thank you for helping me make a difference in the lives of millions!

Nate
