All The Cool Kids Are Doing It!

On Saturday May 16, I will be joining my friend Cara Durnin again, to walk on her team Cara's Corps for Great Strides. This is a great opportunity to help raise money and awareness for a devastating genetic disease that Cara is all too familiar with.

Cara was diagnosed with CF on her first birthday, and at the time her parents were told she would not make it to kindergarten. Thanks to medical advancements made possible through donations Cara is now a Healthy 27 year old! Unfortunately the average life expectancy for someone with CF is 37, which is not good enough. Since there are only 30,000 Americans diagnosed with CF, their research does not receive federal funding.

Cara is an amazing person with an infectious smile and an unstoppable drive to enjoy life to its fullest. She is a friend, a daughter and a wife.

If you would like to walk with us it does not cost anything, all you have to do is harass your friends, family and co-workers, like me :) Even if you are only able to raise $5, that is $5 that goes towards a cure!!! If fund-raising isn't your cup of tea, please consider making a donation to help Cara's Corps reach our TEAM goal of $10,000!

Please follow the link below to show your support for Cara's Corps. Making a donation is easy and secure! This link will take you to my Great Strides fund-raising page where your donation will be credited towards my team.

Thanks for all of your support, and thanks to those who donated in 2008! With your help we were able to raise almost $10,000 for cystic fibrosis research last year!

I have also included a link to a video about Cara if you would like to learn more! Also, please pass this on…you never know who might be willing to help!
