Hello Family and Friends! Great Strides is less than two short weeks away and the Tiger Team is getting ready to participate in our 41st Walk! As most of you know, our son Jim was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after birth. He's now 40, and in 2021 he received his second life-saving, double-lung transplant. Jim's inner strength and determination to regain his good health and get his strength back are nothing short of remarkable. And while his new lungs allow him to breathe easier, he still faces all the other challenges that come with cystic fibrosis, as well as new issues related to transplant. So in honor of Jim and all the others fighting CF, our family will once again set out to walk 3.2 miles and raise funds for the continued research to find a cure for CF. The progress that has been made in the past 40 years has been truly significant, but there is still more to be done! We know the past few years have been challenging for everyone. However, if you're able and you'd like to make a donation, we would be very grateful. We look forward to the Great Strides Walk and hope to have many of you join us! As always, THANK YOU for your support and your prayers.
