Hello friends and family!

It's time for Great Strides, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest national fundraising event.   This year, Milwaukee's Great Strides will be held at O'Donnell Park on Sunday, May 19th.  Registration starts at 10am and the walk begins at 11am.

With supporters like you by their side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has led the way in the fight against CF and fueled extraordinary medical and scientific progress.  Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has helped advance the development of more than a dozen CF treatments, and added decades of life to those with CF. Thanks to this work, the life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years.

Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond.  The foundation's vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis - a life free from the burden of this disease.

Alex and Peter are doing well, but the resources of the CF Foundation are very helpful when it comes to dealing with insurance issues and the unknowns of living longer with this disease.

Help us reach our fundraising goal by donating to our Great Strides fundraising campaign and/or join Team Behlmer on Sunday, May 19th.

Please follow the links to donate or register.

Let us know if you have any questions.
