Fund raiser for Cystic Fibrosis O/T

Hello All

As you all may know by now (and if not now you do) John and I have the gene for Cystic Fibrosis, so that puts us at a 25% chance of having a child with Cystic Fibrosis. I have decided to become more active in the CF organization and decided to promote awareness of this disease by doing a 6 mile walk in Raleigh on May 19, 2006. I am hoping that you will donate but also pass this web site on to others or by what ever means you wish to try and raise money, because every little bit helps for me to achieve my goal. We hope that one day our children are not faced with the choices we need to face because of our genes. The more support that goes into research for this disease the higher that average age goes. Right now in the last 5 years that average age nearly double going from age ~15 to now ~30.

Thanks For all your help and support

Nicole & John
