There will be a Great Strides walk in Tulsa Ok on May 17, 2003. This is a walk for the research and future cure for Cystic Fibrosis. As a nurse I have worked very closely with CF patients and it is a cause I am very dedicated to. This year we are putting together a team of walkers to participate. I never have before as it is always held on a week-end and I work week-end option nights. I am going to do it anyway this year. I will be very sleepy, but it will be worth it.
I am just starting to form the team. So far it is myself and my six year old son, Trey. I have a coworker who is also very interested in doing it, so she and her family will likely participate. If any of you are near the Tulsa area and would like to participate, please do not hesitate to contact me asap.
Our goal is to raise money for the CF foundation. I have included a link below that explains the walk and also contains a lot of good information about CF. I encourage you all to look at it and learn what you can because through knowledge we can make changes. We can save lives.
I think most of you know Flar7 in the community. He is a very good friend of mine and is also an adult living with CF. I am walking for him and for all the other people with CF from the infants to the old men like Flar7!
We have made it a policy to never charge for any services here at MW nor to allow advertising banners etc to cash in on the community spirit. However, this is a great cause and we would certainly welcome any donations. We have a specific goal. I would like to raise around $500 for our team. So, if anyone is interested in a donation..any and all amounts are beneficial, just let me know and I can give you the info necessary. All donations are tax deducatable. For more information here is the link.
