$2.25
Today my 10 year old niece is the first person to donate to the We Walk for Hope team....probably the best $2.25 she will ever spend! I cannot express my excitement to see in her a desire to give. She is excited to start raising money too and is coming up with ideas on how she can! I love it and I encourage us all to find a way to raise money for this cause! So far we have a yard sale planned for April 10 and would love to take any donations you have! If you want to be a part of this team please email me at go9nz7o6@yahoo.com and register on www.cff.org under the team name We Walk for Hope. Peace and Blessings, Peace and Blessings.

Join our team...We Walk For Hope in the fight for a cure and raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.
As most of you know our friend Hope Joens has Cystic Fibrosis which is a genetic disease that effects her lungs and overall breathing system and digestive system. The CF body not only produces an excess amount of mucus but it also lacks the ability to move that mucus out of the body, and mucus that is left in the body can quickly turn into infection and even pneumonia. The CF body also lacks the enzymes needed to break down food. When your body doesn't actually digest your food you don't get the nutrients you need out of the food! Every CF patient experiences CF in a different way but for most, it effects their lungs. The infections that occur wear down and weaken the lungs. There still is no cure for CF, but in the recent years there have been many medical advancements. CF patients have to do 2-4 hours worth of breathing and airway clearance treatments a day to help upkeep their lungs and do manually what their body should be doing automatically. CF patients have a hard life but they all seem to have a love and appreciation for life that is unmatched. Every breath, every step, and every day is a gift that they cherish.
Last year about 20 of us participated in a fundraiser where we all got tattoos of "sixty fve roses" which is a common phrase used to help children with CF easily say Cystic Fibrosis. It was a blast to be able to particpate in such a great cause and I have been able to use my tattoo to tell more people about CF.
This year the opportunity to get involved in this fight is available to many more people. Great Strides is an organized walk for CF. All funds raised will directly go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and will be used to raise awareness and find new treatments, medications and ultimately a cure.
If you want to particpate in this walk, we want you! Please email back with any questions and confirm your spot! Please confirm by March 31!! The only requirement for each walker is to purchase one "we walk for hope" t-shirt and try to sell one or more to a friend. This will be our main fundraising tool. If you have any ideas please post them.
Also, Hope and I have started a blog and will update it frequently about fundraising opportunities! www.wewalkforhope.blogspot.com
So much love! Peace and blessings, peace and blessings!
