Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Great Strides Walk to raise money for a cure is just around the corner!

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 04, 2010 -
Our son Lyman Staton is one of over 30,000 Americans wtih Cystic fibrosis, the most prevalent genetic disease in the United States. 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! Though the median life expectancy was increased to 37 years, I ask you if that would be long enough for your child?

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event. This year, I'm walking in the GREAT STRIDES event at the Kansas City, MO, Theis Park / May 1 / 9:00 AM, however there are several in both Kansas and Missouri that I have listed below. Please donate, walk with us or even just donate so you don’t have to walk! Most importantly, help us spread the word to get more donors. Please help me meet my personal fundraising goal of $5000 by sponsoring me. 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 the link below to make a donation that will be credited to my team. 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!
