REID'S CREW ...... 

It's almost May so as most of you can probably guess it's time for me to kickstart my fundraising into high gear for the Cystic Fibrosis foundation.  Even though I say the same thing every year we really are making advances as the lifespan for CF patients increase.

For those of you who might be seeing my page for the first time I have a friend name Reid.  He and I were born on the same day in the same hospital and he was my very first friend in life and we will be turning 15 years old this summer.  Reid has Cystic Fibrosis and this disease impacts the lungs of CF patients and makes it hard for them to breathe.  Each and every day Reid has to take ALOT of pills and go through treatments to help break down the mucus that wants to build up in his lungs.

Ever since Reid and I were 10 months old he and I have participated in the Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis and since I've been 3 yrs old I've hosted a lemonade stand every year to help raise funds for Reid's Crew and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Reid's Crew is a national team that participates in many Great Strides events across the country.  This year my lemoande stand will be held on Sunday, May 5th from 10:30 - 3:30 at West Auto Repair in Dunstable, MA.    I hope you can make it.  If you can't but would still like to donate you can make a donation here on this page. Each and every year I like to try and raise just a bit more than what I raised the previous year so this year my goal is to raise $4,650.  This is a REALLY BIG NUMBER but I know with this great team of supporters that I have had by my side all of these years I'm confident that I can hit this number.

All money raised from this lemonade stand along with any donations raised from my page goes directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and goes towards finding a cure for this terrible disease.  One day it is my hope that CF stands for Cure Found instead of Cystic Fibrosis.

Thank you in advance for all the generous support. I am so grateful that I have such good people in my life that support me and this cause!

Love,
