Family and Friends,
For everyone walking with Kaelyn's Kure this Sunday, you must be registered. This includes ALL AGES, so kids too regardless of how young! The foundation would like everyone to try to register online to save time on walk day. You must sign up online by NOON today - otherwise you will have to register again on Sunday in person. Follow the link below to register. Click on "Join My Team" once you arrive on the page.
Everyone is to meet in South Park inside the building with the big clock on it by the track and baseball fields. If you still have not registered yourself or your kids, you can do so then. If you pre-registered online, YOU WILL STILL NEED TO CHECK-IN at our team's table. All tables will be labeled with team names - look for Patty and Marie at our table. They will be taking new registration forms, donations, and checking you in.
If you raised $100 under your own name for the walk, you will be given a ticket upon check-in for a free Great Strides t-shirt complimentary of CFF! Patty and Marie will have everyone's info at the table and how much you've raised/donated. Kaelyn's Kure team t-shirts will be available through myself or Chad if you have not picked yours up from us prior to meeting on Sunday.
Please make sure you arrive at check-in by 10:00am. After checking in, feel free to check out the gift baskets or take part in the 50/50 raffle. These prizes will be raffled off before the walk begins at 11:00am. Team pictures will be taken for each team participating in the walk, so be sure to stick around so we can find you when the time comes.
Our team will be honored for our awesome effort with a big customized banner at the walk! All banners displayed at the walk represent the individual teams who raised over $5,000 as of April 30th. Although all our funds still haven't posted to our team online yet, I believe that our team is closing in on $8,500 currently! We've done such a wonderful job as a team for our first year being involved with the walk! The efforts that everyone has put in to support Kaelyn's Kure and CF have truly touched our hearts! Since CF research is not government funded, your donations matter greatly! Without your help, Kaelyn wouldn't have the treatments she needs to stay healthy!
Kaelyn's Kure was also chosen by the CF organization to cut the ribbon before the walk begins! This honor was decided because of our outstanding efforts during our first year with Great Strides! Chad, Kaelyn, and I will cut the ribbon, and then Kaelyn's Kure will lead the walk on Sunday! :-)
Don't forget, after the walk food will be provided too! We will have water at our team table as well as pop and other drinks. We're looking forward to the walk, and also seeing some old friends we haven't seen for a while! Thank you in advance to everyone who's planning to come out this Sunday! If you have any other questions, please get a hold of us.
PS - A friendly reminder about smoking:
We all know smoking is bad for you, but for someone with CF, it's a fast track to irreversable lung damage, and this includes second hand smoke! We have to be careful where we take Kaelyn, keeping in mind if there will be smokers there or not. The key to keeping Kaelyn healthy and alive for as long as possible is by protecting her growing lungs. The same goes for all the other CF'ers who will be at the walk. Please refrain from smoking at this walk or around the other teams who will be participating. It's so important to all of us and to the lungs of the CF individuals!
