GREAT STRIDES WALK

The Great Strides walk is this Saturday, May 1 @ McKinley High School @ 10 AM...anyone interested in joining my team? or donating to my team? The walk is to help raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation- seriously, every penny counts. The more money we raise for the Foundation, the faster they will be able to get drugs out on the market for all of those who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis. Right now, there is a drug in like Phase 2 or 3 (I'm not positive which one) that actually FIXES the defective gene that causes CF! How awesome is that! Up until now, the only drugs available are to help SLOW DOWN the progression of the disease, this would actually fix the GENE!

For those of you who don't know much about CF, here is a definition of what it all entails:
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. The lungs, pancreas, liver, and the digestive tract are all affected by CF. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults, and may result in early death.

Please help us make CF stand for CURE FOUND!!
