Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event. In addition to the hundreds of walk sites across the country, WILMINGTON HAS ADDED A 5K RUN TO THIS INCREDIBLE FUNDRAISING EVENT TO SUPPORT CF. This year, join us in the cause by registering to run in the first annual 5k Great Strides Run. Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively towards vital CF programs to support research. You are always welcome to make an additional donation to support Cystic Fibrosis. Any amount is greatly appreciated!

FOR WALK INFORMATION: If family or friends want to walk, please bring them along to share in the fun. Visit our website to register to walk at http://www.cff.org/great_strides.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a 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. That's why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later.

AND HERE'S SOME OF THE EXCITING UPDATES TO SHARE WITH YOU:

----A new inhaled antibiotic developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. called Cayston® is now available for patients. Cayston® offers a much-needed antibiotic alternative for CF patients who battle recurrent lung infections and develop resistance to existing antibiotics.

----Two investigational drugs that aim to treat the underlying causes of CF continue to progress in clinical studies. VX-770 and VX-809, created by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have both shown promising results in ongoing trials with CF patient volunteers.

----We estimate that more than a dozen Phase 3 trials will be completed by 2013—a huge success that drives our continued optimism for finding a cure.

As you lace up your sneakers in preparation for Great Strides 2010, please know these advances would not be possible without you. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and Great Strides!
