JOIN OUR TEAM: Our Charity Walk {Great Strides} is different than other walk-a-thons that you're familiar with. We all show up at 10AM, walk-or-run @ 11, socialize, enjoy the family fun atmosphere, and we're done after noon... Joining our team empowers you to help raise funds to help fight this horrible disease, and support the ongoing research to FIND A CURE! Whether you make a donation yourself, and want to walk to help show your support,,, or build your own group of supporters and collect donations from those in your circles,,, WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT! MAKE A DONATION: It's not only about raising money... WE NEED TO RAISE THE AWARENESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES ABOUT THIS CAUSE! And your support & willingness to spread the word, and help raise money is the best chance Kileigh has for a stable and hopeful future. Your donation can be your money, your time, and/or your prayers! Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event. We assemble a team of walkers every year to walk in the Great strides walk at MCLA in N.Adams walk in Berkshire County, MA. Please help us meet this year's fundraising goal of $2,500.00 for CF! I know if we all pull together we can meet this goal. Even if it's only a few dollars that you can donate or a few dollars from a dozen contacts; every little bit helps. You can help make a child's future better. ABOUT KILEIGH & CF: Kileigh Elizabeth was born in August 2009. She was diagnosed with CF when she was one week old. With every meal, she has to have supplemental enzymes which help to keep her digestive system functioning normally. Every day she must endure chest therapy, which helps keep her respirtory system clear. Also, she must to go to Bay State Hospital to get monitored, regularly. This is certainly a lot for such a small child to go through, and will have to deal with for the rest of her life; unless we all pull together and pitch in. A common case of the sniffles can make your child uncomfortable for a day or two... it can send Kileigh to the Hospital for up to a week! Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a destructive inherited disease. It is a genetic disease that affects the respiratory & digestive systems, as well as other organs. CF causes very thick sticky mucus which clogs the ducts over time that lead to the lungs. That makes it a lot harder to breath and causes lung damage and other infections. The thick mucus also clogs the ducts to your digestive system so food wont break down like it's supposed to. Also it can block your enzymes from getting through to the rest of your body. There is so much that goes wrong with this disease. Please lend your support to help raise awareness about this disease today. |
