Welcome to Megan's GREAT STRIDES Home Page!

This year Cookie’s Monsters have a big challenge to tackle but I know we can do it and possibly surpass it! This year is special because not only am I walking to honor my sister Courtney Lynn Hill who battled courageously CF her whole life and went home to be with our Father on November 24th, 2009, but I am continuing to support her Cysters and Fibros to find a cure. This is the least I could do to honor her final wishes to have her team raise $15,000!

Courtney was a beautiful Woman, Daughter, Sister, Cousin, Friend and Christian who lived her life with grace. Read Courtney's PURPOSE beautifully here. http://courtneylynnhill.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/courtneys-purpose/

"The best way to teach people is by telling a story." Kenneth Blanchard

Please help support me in granting Courtney her final wish in helping to raise money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!

With Love, Her Big Sis’ Megan

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. This year, I'm walking in the GREAT STRIDES walk at Oak Point Park in Plano in loving memory of my sister, Courtney. 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 others with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. Current life expectancy is 37 years young. 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!

*This picture of Courtney was only 1 week after her lung transplant in September. Always with a smile!
