GREAT STRIDES

My niece Niicki has formed a team to walk in the Great Strides Walk for CF (Cystic Fibrosis) to be held in Rapid City, SD on May 31st and another team to walk in Sioux Falls, SD on June 7th. It is called "Jenn's Green Team" in honor of her daughter Jennifer who lost her battle with CF last year. It is so important to find a cure. We want to make CF stand for Cure Found! The website for the walks, to join the team, or to donate - is: www.cff.org/Great_Strides/NicoleNelson5139

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest, most successful, and most important national fund-raising event. If you are not in this area but would like to support us please check out our team's website! So many young lives depend on the vital, ongoing advances in CF research - to keep that momentum going, we need your help now, more than ever!

Walking in GREAT STRIDES is such an effective way to add tomorrows every day to the lives of those with CF. We are doing this in memory of Jenn as she would have wanted to make sure others with CF didn't have to go through what she did. Your enthusiasm and fund-raising efforts will help give more tomorrows to those with CF every day.
