Our Mary Alice is growing up!

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello again. I trust this email finds you safe and well. It is that time of year and we are getting ready for the annual CFF Great Strides walk (In Person). You probably heard from me last year but our best friend Bridget & Mike Lane’s daughter Mary-Alice was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was 2 months old. She is 17 years old now and is doing well. We are working on raising money for the Great Strides, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s annual event to raise money to cure Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We raised over $10,000.00 last year and we hope to raise even more this year with the help of all of you. Thanks for contributing last year. Your donation will be well spent as 90 cents of every dollar raised by the CF Foundation is used to support its vital programs and research. Your donations have helped, in the following way, in the past year.

CF is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems of tens of thousands of children and young adults. As many of you know, Mary-Alice was diagnosed with this genetic disease. Currently there is no cure, but researchers are optimistic that with the recent advances in genetic research there will be one within Mary-Alice’s lifetime.

On Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 2:00pm, we will be doing our Great Strides walk at Tennessee Riverpark 4301 Amnicola Hwy, Chattanooga, TN. It would be wonderful if you could join our Team, “Lake Walkers for Mary-Alice”, but if you are unable to participate, please consider making a monetary contribution to this cause by sponsoring us in the Walk. Your tax deductible donation can be made payable to the “CF Foundation” and mailed to our home address: 9080 Ivyshaw Landing, Gainesville GA, 30506 or it is safe and secure to click DONATE TO ME and donate via credit card directly to CF. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you would like more information on Cystic Fibrosis or the Great Strides, please see www.cff.org
Thank you for your consideration and support!

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ATTENDANCE AT FOUNDATION EVENTS:

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 the Foundation is taking steps to host safe events for our community. Please be advised that events may be subject to change at any time based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials.

To help minimize the risk of COVID-19, we ask that attendees at CF Foundation events follow these steps:

Where mandated, practice physical distancing and maintain at least a safe 6-foot distance from persons outside of their household.
Face masks are encouraged and should be worn in accordance with local guidelines. (Note, children under two years of age should not wear masks due to safety concerns and therefore should only attend outdoor CF Foundation events where they are able to distance and stay within their family group.)
Follow basic infection, prevention and control practices by regularly washing hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, and by covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow.
Persons with CF should consult their physician before participation in any in-person event as they may be at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
For indoor events, it is CFF policy to invite only one person with CF to be in-person at the event at a time. For outdoor events, people with CF should maintain a safe 6-foot distance from persons outside of their household at all times.

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS:

For the health and well-being of the CF community, we strongly encourage that participants be fully vaccinated and have received the CDC recommended booster shot when joining us in-person for the event.
Please be advised certain localities and venues may require you to be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination. We will communicate these requirements in event communications.
We are counting on the fact that you appreciate the potential consequences of exposing members of the CF community to COVID-19 and will not attend an event if you are feeling ill or have been recently exposed to COVID-19.
We cannot guarantee that all people in attendance at the event, including participants, sponsors, volunteers, vendors, or others, have been fully vaccinated.
