As many of you know, my nephew Charlie was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after birth.  Each day we get with him is a true gift!  He's an amazing kid and fortunately, with the help of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation along with his wonderful team of doctors and amazing parents, he is doing awesome! He is currently a very happy boy enjoying school, playing sports and looking forward to summer vacation with his family! 

All of this is made possible by the people who have so generously donated to this cause in the past including all of my friends & family! To each of you I say thank you! I'm reaching out once again to ask for your support. So many advances have been made in the past years that I have been doing this fundraiser. 21 years ago the life expectancy was 21. Now the life expectancy is 56. Please consider contributing so these advances can continue.

I will be walking again this year in the 2023 Great Strides Walk at the Cleveland Zoo on Saturday, May 20th.  I am once again asking that you help support me in reaching my fundraising goal by donating. I know that things are crazy in our world right now, and the cost of everything is increasing. With that said, your support is still needed.  I will be grateful for any amount that you can contribute.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. 

Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.

Please support me!

Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.

Please help me add tomorrows not only for my nephew but for all of those affected by this disease.


Thank You,

Michele
