It's Great Strides time again and the Bethesda walk is quickly approaching!  This is my 22nd year walking in Great Strides and this is a very special one because I've volunteered to co-chair CFF's  Bethesda team!  We kicked off walk season this past week in the office...and it was fun to get our teams excited and motivating as we heard from a colleague, Myra, who shared her story of raising two children with CF.      

I'm hoping you can help me meet and exceed my personal fundraising goal this year! Your generous gift will help support the Foundation in its mission to find a cure and help improve the lives of people with CF across the country.

Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening, genetic disease that affects over 30,000 people in the United States. Each day when I come to work, I see how the research, care, advocacy, and other programs supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation makes a difference in the lives of people with CF and I'm so very proud to be a part of it.  During our most recent Volunteer Leadership Conference in March, I spoke with parents and other family members of people with CF and heard their personal stories; I heard about the treatment regimens and their daily challenges as well as the hopes and dreams they have for their loved ones, especially those who are currently without an effective treatment.  Our community's dedication to finding a cure for this disease is truly inspiring and it's what makes my job more than just a job to me!  

Donating is easy and secure. Simply visit my personal page and follow the prompts to make a donation. Any amount that you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Your support will help fuel lifesaving research and care for people with CF.

Thank you for supporting me, my Great Strides Team, the Bethesda walk, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! Together we can make a difference and make CF stand for Cure Found!
