A Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis on Saturday, April 26 – We Need Your Help for the "GREAT STRIDES" charity event, "A Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis." The national society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, has contacted me (Nicholas Wright) to organize a local fund raising event – the "Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis". Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease, which affects approximately 30,000 children and adults in the US. A defective gene causes the body to produce abnormally thick mucus. This results in the lungs, in particular, being unable to clean themselves properly and therefore making the sufferer susceptible to life-threatening infections. Currently there is no cure! We need your help to raise money to fund research to find a cure for this debilitating condition. This is a non-competitive walk/gentle "stroll" of around 10K/6mi. starting at the Greyhound Arena car park on N.Ave."O" at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 26. We will walk about three miles out of town to the junction of "RSV 6" and "RSV U" and back. The idea is that you pick up a sponsorship pamphlet from the biology department in Roosevelt Hall, (Room 201). Then using any means at your disposal, (this can include blackmail, extortion, etc!), obtain sponsors for your walk and collect the monies in advance. On the day of the walk you should arrive between 8 and 9 a.m. in advance to register and hand over your sponsorship money. Then we walk! Water will be available at the halfway point but as this is a gentle walk, you can bring your own if you wish! Kids are welcome but only if accompanied, and they cannot be "walkers"/sponsors in their own right, only adults please! The same applies to well-behaved pets! (on leads please – there may be traffic!). If you can collect $100 then you will be entitled to a free Cystic Fibrosis Foundation T-shirt; larger amounts can gain even better prizes! We hope to have a City Official start us off at 9 a.m.! So please join us on the 26th. More details can be obtained from me, Nick Wright: Office phone, 562.2543. Home! phone, (leave message), 356.2363. E-mail: "nicholas.wright@enmu.edu" THANKS!
