THE 17th ANNUAL ST. MICHAEL'S WALK Friday, May 26th, 1:00 PM
Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. St. Michael's Lutheran School in Richville walks for Team Hunter-in honor of Hunter Krause, a former student and son of our 5th grade teacher Mrs. Krause. Hunter was diagnosed with CF at 10 months and continues to fight today as a "healthy" CF patient. Hunter is now 17 and is a senior at Valley Lutheran High School. Hunter has been truly blessed to have the love, support, and prayers from the St. Michael's families as he fights Cystic Fibrosis and the other diseases that stem from this like diabetes and liver disease. Hunter is a very active in sports and doesn't like when he is held back or told "no" because he has a disease-he just rolls with what he has been given. St. Michael's will be hosting their own walk on Friday, May 26, beginning at 1:00 PM (and will end at 2:30 PM). All money raised by St. Michael's will be going to the CF Foundation. This is the 17th year for the St. Michael's Walk and all students Kindergarten through 8th grade will be walking at St. Michael's, Richville.
With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. 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. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
We walk in Great Strides for them. We walk for Hunter to make sure that CF stands for Cure Found!
