Hello Friends and Family! It's our 12th Year participating in the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk! We would like to ask once again for your help in raising money for our "Cruisin' For Katie" Team to help cure Cystic Fibrosis!

The Great Strides Walk will held be on Sunday, May 16th in North Park at Pie Traynor Field. Our ‘Cruisin’ For Katie Team’ will start with sign-in at 8am and the walk will begin at 9 o’clock and all are welcome. This is an event which has become a family tradition for many of you and we welcome you back, thankful as always for your support. We welcome newcomers – the weather is not always great, but the walk is easy, everyone gets a ‘Cruisin’ for Katie’ T-shirt and you will have a good time. Hot dogs, soft drinks and lots of food are provided after the Walk. One big picnic along with DJ!

Please come. Please solicit contributions from your friends – I know this is a difficult year for charitable giving. If you can’t physically come to this walk site, consider creating a ‘virtual walk’. You can do this through your company or just form your own ‘team’ for Katie. There are many walk sites around the country on this weekend. You can find out where they are at www.cff.org.

Please give what you can to help Katie find a Cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Hope to see you there! love, Becky, Suzanne, and Katie Gomes
