Hi everyone! As many of you know, our dear friend Jolene passed away in 2006 from complications of Cystic Fibrosis. She continues to be a shining example to me of strength, love, and integrity, and I am thankful to be able to contribute to this cause that she loves so much.

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.

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 the Snoqualmie location on Saturday, September 22nd 2012! 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 nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.
