The generosity of others towards CF throughout the past several weeks has been simply AMAZING! We are blown away by the huge support system we have from family and friends - AND, what's as equally touching and amazing is the kindness of complete strangers who have been reaching out to Kaelyn's Kure and CF.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure, and the foundation funds more CF research than any other organization. Nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of foundation support from people like you!
Right now, SO many exciting things are happening in the CF community and I encourage you to take a look at the 2 articles below. By supporting CF, you're helping to make these types of research opportunities possible and giving hope to the 30,000 kids and young adults fighting this horrible disease!
Kaelyn's Kure has met and EXCEEDED our goal in our very 1st year of having a Great Strides team!! We set our 2011 goal at $5,000 and today we just surpassed that goal - currently coming in at $5,055 in online donations alone!! AMAZING! AND this total doesn't yet include the Jose & Tony's fundraiser funds yet. (It takes a lengthy amount of time, especially in the month of May for funds to process and post online.) But, with that being said, we are currently looking at a team total of close to $8,000 and we aren't done yet!!! Wonderful job so far everyone - can't wait to hear the official total at the walk! We can't thank you enough for being on our team! Whether you're walking with us next Sunday or you're one of Kaelyn's Angel Walkers (you can't make it to the walk, but will be there with us in spirit), our team wouldn't be this huge and this successful without each and every one of you!
Our 1st year's success with Great Strides has landed us a surprise honor on the day of the walk, but we'll save the surprise for next week! For those who are unable to make it, no worries, we'll fill you in and post pictures from the day! =)
It's still not too late to sign up as a Walker or Angel Walker - there's still a week left until the walk and Kaelyn would LOVE to have you on her team! Click on the Great Strides image below to join the team or to check out our team's total raised to date! See you all next weekend - fingers crossed for NICE weather, I know it's hard to come by in the city! (Kaelyn's Kure t-shirts will be in next week if you ordered one)
