Join the Hamilton and Area Chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at the 2^nd , annual Great Strides^TM walk on Sunday, May, 25 and help fight a fatal disease

Taking another historic step in the fight against cystic fibrosis (CF), the Hamilton and Area Chapter will be joining other chapters of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF), from coast to coast, in hosting the second, annual Great Strides^TM walk on Sunday, May, 25.

Join the fight against the most common, fatal, genetic disease affecting young Canadians. The Great Strides^TM walk will be held at Zooz in Stephensville (Welland), starting at 9:00am.  All money raised, through pledges and donations, will support CCFF-funded CF research and care.

"The Great Strides ^TM walk in Welland promises to be a wonderful day.  There will be the excitement of the animals throughout the zoo, activities for the children, face painting, musical entertainment and lunch supplied by and prepared by the Kin Club, the Great Strides^TM walk will be lots of fun for the whole family - all in support of a very worthy cause," Karen said.

For more information about the Great Strides^TM walk in your community, to register, and/or to collect pledges, visit www.cysticfibrosis.ca/greatstrides. From your personal Great Strides^TM home page, you can send emails to others, inviting them to pledge you in support of the fight against CF. Secure, online donations can be made with most major credit cards, and all donations of $20, or more, will receive a tax receipt, automatically.
