Hello everyone,
It's that time of year again. The annual Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis walk that takes place on May 22, 2023. As usual I am representing team Big D on behalf of my dear friend Danielle Nicosia who was diagnosed with CF at the age of 17.
Cystic fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease that affects children and young adults. It is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). It is known to clog the lungs and can lead to life-threatening lung infections; It also obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.
Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now - more than ever - to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research. Too many young lives depend on this vital research to let it go unfunded!
Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. Please help me meet my fund-raising goal by sponsoring Danielle Nicosia. You'll feel confident in knowing that your generous gift is used efficiently and effectively: nearly 90 cents out of every dollar you contribute goes directly toward supporting research and specialized care that improves the quality of life for those with CF. And, it's tax-deductible.
Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click on the link below to make a donation to my fund-raising page where your donation will be credited to my team. Or if you want, you can see me to make other arrangements. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!
Donating to Great Strides is such a simple and effective way for you to show your support for this important cause. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Once again, thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation! And thank you so much taking the time out to learn a little more about this disease.
Best Wishes, Jenn Lacenera
