Cystic Fibrosis Research


As many of you know this cause is personal to my family and I. In the spring of 2007 our lives changed forever with the first diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis. Since then we have had two more children diagnosed with CF. We have learned lots about persistence. Now we are asking for your help.
Cystic fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease that affects children and young adults. 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!GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. This year, my family and I are walking in the GREAT STRIDES event at the Tempe Kiwanis Park site on April 25. Please help us meet our fund-raising goal of $2, 500 by sponsoring "Team TAN".
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 on the link below to make a donation to our fund-raising page where your donation will be credited to the team.
