Successfull Great Strides Walk

Even though we did not go to the CF walk this year, it was a huge success. After returning from China, Lucas made the decision to play in his last soccer tournament of the season. It was the same day as the walk and at the same time. So, we left that decision up to him. Thank you so much to those who donated to cure this disease. We were able to raise approx. $1,400.00 this year. We still have donations coming in so I will update later with the grand total. All of the Richmond Great Striders raised a wopping $203,371.96 as of today! We are so happy that so much research will be able to happen because of donors like you. On a sad note, one "CF friend" did not make it to the walk because she passed away in Feb. She was only 17 years old. This is the reason for our determination to do everything we can to raise money for this foundation. If you would like to see the walk please watch this short video.....
