Hi Folks,
It's the time of year again. We are participating in our 17th Great Strides Walk (Virtual) for Cystic Fibrosis this year! We walk to support the continued effort to find a cure for Karen & so many others affected by Cystic Fibrosis. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with this incurable disease. Progress in the research for a cure is very exciting & new drugs are now available to help in the treatment of CF, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short.
Karen is now 16 years old & is even more passionate about Irish Dance! She participates in as many shows, exhibitions & competitions as she can. She is advancing in her quest for champ rating. She does not give in to the many struggles due to CF but pushes through to remain active in her dance, church & school activities.
I need your help to meet my fundraising goal for this year's Walk. Your generous gift will support the Foundation’s mission to find a cure & improve the lives of people with CF, plus, your gift is 100 percent tax deductible.
Donating is easy & secure. Simply visit my personal page & follow the prompts to make a donation. If you choose not to donate through the website, you may send a check to me, Jackie Lorentzson, 900 Clarkson Ct., Thornton, CO 80229-5904. Make the check out to CFF & note Karen Elizabeth's Team on the notes line. Any amount that you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Your support will help fuel lifesaving research & care for people like Karen with CF.

Thank you for supporting me & Karen Elizabeth's Great Strides Team! Together we can make a difference & add tomorrows to the lives of people with Cystic Fibrosis.
Sincerely,
Jackie Lorentzson
