Hello family, friends, and fellow workers,

I want to start off by thanking all of you for your generous donations last year!! We far surpassed our goal of $5,000.00. We realize this is a trying time economically for all of us, but our fight for a cure must go on. Please give what you can and please feel free to forward this to your friends and family as well.

This year our family will be walking in the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides walk at The New York Institute of Tecnology on June 10th>

My wife Tena & I have a personal interest in this event as our 2 children, Kelley & RJ as well as our nephew Patrick all have CF. As you may be aware, my daughter Kelley, had a double lung transplant on 2/22/10 at Columbia University, and she's doing very well. We were truly blessed with a miracle 2 years ago with the help of your donations.

It's so easy to donate, just one click online and your on your way.

Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. Please help me meet my fund-raising goal of $5,000.00 by sponsoring me. Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively, as 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! We understand that you may not be able to be there with us, but your donations are 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 those with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. 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!

Than you for your continued support, The Chaffee Family: Tena, Roger, Kelley & RJ
