My Great Strides Story

HELP US CURE CF! The Great Strides Walkathon, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event is taking place in May.   I want to personally thanks all of you who have supported the CF cause in the past.  Many of you have given generously before and CF (and I) needs your help again.   There are approximately 40,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.

If this is the first time I am appealing to you - I am sorry; I can't believe I have left you out previously! Thanks to many of you last year I raised over $1500.  Your donation really works, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar raised is used in vital CF programs to support research, clinical care and education. Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click on the donate button at the side of the page or paste or click

to make a donation. Or if you want to join our team, that would be amazing.  Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated! Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating, progressive, genetic disease (currently with NO cure) that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States.  

Anne and I care for people with CF around Connecticut and each year we go to a different site; this year we will be doing GREAT STRIDES at the new Glastonbury walk site in May.  As many of you know, we have been taking part in this walkathon for over 30 years! Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a HUGE difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF.  Thanks to people like you we have developed treatments that are literally life-changing for people with CF.  We are getting closer and closer to the day when we will be able to cure CF forever. BUT that can come soon enough - everyday we continue to lose precious lives to CF. That's why your help is needed now more than ever, to help fund finding a cure for everyone, asap.  Your gift is 100 percent tax deductible.

Together, we can make a HUGE difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES! I promise, I'll keep walking each year (currently 37th GREAT STRIDES) until we defeat Cystic Fibrosis.

Many, many thanks for your help. Craig
