I'm well overdue for some thank you's going out to some amazing people and businesses who helped to make out 2nd annual Cheers For A Cure fundraiser an even bigger success this year! On Saturday, April 28th we put together our 2nd annual Cheers For A Cure which is the biggest fundraiser we personally host to raise money for Kaelyn's Kure and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This year's success surpassed last year's by $1,200, which brought our one night total to $3,900 raised for CF!! I set the bar high this year, my goal was $5,000.... but hey, there's always next year and I hope to improve more and more each time this event comes around in the spring! The turnout was simply AMAZING! I'd say we had about 150-175 guests throughout the night and we couldn't be happier for all those who made it out to show their support for Kaelyn and our family. WE ARE BLESSED TO KNOW YOU ALL!
While the event stresses me out at times and can be chaotic pulling it all together, it's well worth it in the end. Even though I take the brunt of the stress, the event would not be possible without the help of some truly wonderful people. I'd like to take the time to personally thank everyone again for their help and donations:

The night's success wouldn't have turned out the way it did without your help and support, so THANK YOU ALL!! Also, a big thank you once again to everyone in attendance that night - we loved sharing the evening with you all to help raise money to cure Cystic Fibrosis! Your support at these events is making a difference - the money we are raising is generating life-changing research and new drugs that are doing things we have all been waiting for in the CF community.
As we are just days away from the 2012 Great Strides Walk, I am very touched by all the people who have made a contribution to team Kaelyn's Kure this year. Our family looks forward to walking with you all again on Sunday! Here's some quick reminders for Sunday morning:
1. If you are NOT registered online by Sunday, please come to the walk a little earlier so you can complete your registration. I'd say to arrive by 9:30am.
2. If you're already registered, please arrive to the museum building no later than 10:00am. Be sure to check-in at our table inside.
3. Remember, EVERYONE must be registered to walk - including children.
4. Don't forget to wear your purple Kaelyn's Kure team t-shirt! We will bring all the new orders with us on Sunday. If you haven't paid us yet, please do so on Sunday.
5. Our Team Picture will be at 10:30am on the track. We'd like to have everyone on our team in the picture, so please try to make your way to the track around that time.
6. The walk will begin shortly after pictures and there will be a small lunch served afterwards. Plenty of water and pop will also be supplied.
7. There is a Chinese Auction at the walk with lots of great prizes - if you're interested, please bring cash to buy tickets. All money raised goes to CF. There will also be a few children's baskets too.
