Dear Family and Friends,

On July 11, 2009 our family will be walking for a cure for cystic fibrosis. We have a beautiful young girl, Megan Anderson, living with CF every day in our small community of Summit Cove. Megan was diagnosed with CF in 2000. At that time the life expectancy was 32. Today, nine years later, the life expectancy has risen to 37.5.

Megan is a wonderful little girl whom we watch bound from school with her friends by her side, ride her bike, ski her races and always, always with a sparkling smile on her face. It is difficult to believe this beautiful, happy 10 year old takes approximately 18 different medications a day including up to 60 pills, numerous nose sprays, inhalers and nebulizer medications.

It is our team’s goal this July to raise $1,500 for the cystic fibrosis foundation. We know that you and your family have many choices of how, when, where and why to donate. I would like to ask you to consider joining us to raise funds this year for Megan and the disease she battles. If you are interested, please go to www.cff.org/great_strides/karenzaitz

Thank you so much for your time and consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.

Love,

The Zaitz Family
