Julie: The Courage to Breathe

Please watch this story about Julie Ice and her amazing courage. Then read Julie: The Courage to Breathe - written by Julie's husband Roy. 100% of the royalties go to find the cure. On behalf of the 30,000 people with Cystic Fibrosis, and the 10 million unknowing CF carriers, I thank you.

Run 4 Your Lives Zombie Fun Run

 

October 5, 2013 will be the inaugural Run 4 Your Lives Zombie Fun Run at Rotary Park.

 

Registration begins at 9am with the Fun Run beginning at 10am.

 

This event is about awareness, support, and an all-around fun morning.

 

Come learn about Cystic Fibrosis and its impact in Clarksville, TN.

 

As we "Run 4 Our Lives", we are also running for the lives of those affected by CF.

 

The funds we raise today will support CF research, care and treatment.

 

 Locally raised funds stay in our area.

 

The money we raise today will fuel the research we have tomorrow.

 

A heartfelt thank you from me, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,
and all of our Clarksville CF families.

 

CF will stand for Cure Found and YOU will have been a part of making that happen.

Fabulous Fundraisers = Finding The Cure

 

 

 

Think you don't have time to volunteer?

IF YOU HAVE ONE HOUR A WEEK, you could: Make phone calls. Recruiting volunteers for events, thanking donors, or setting up meetings with potential future sponsors – can be done from your own home!

OR: Serve on a committee for an upcoming event, Set Up or Take Down an event, or lead an event of your choosing!

IF YOU HAVE ONE HOUR A MONTH, you could: Auction item procurement: visit local businesses to gather auction items for upcoming events.

IF YOU HAVE ONE HOUR A YEAR, you could:
Start a letter writing campaign for Great Strides. Send it to all of your friends, family, and co-workers.

You don't have to be a scientist to cure CF. Events are continually added to our calendar.

Join us today! Ask me how.

 

 

And so it starts...

...the planning for the next Great Strides Walk in Clarksville, TN.

 

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to assure the development of the means to cure and control Cystic Fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. Clarksville continues to get behind that mission and support not only our Clarksville CF families, but all who live with Cystic Fibrosis. As we draw closer and closer to a cure, for the first time in my life, I find myself thinking...what if the cure is found before walk day?

 

What if???

 

What if...there was no longer a need to eat more pills than food?

 

What if...there was no longer a necessity for 4 - 6 hours of breathing treatments a day?

 

What if...you could play with your children any time and way you wish?

 

And know you will be here when they get married and have kids of their own?

 

What if...you could spend more time at home than in the hospital?

 

What if...you could breathe?

 

In the past seven years, the CFF has brought 7 drugs to market. YOUR support has made this happen. Please help further the momentum of the CFF as we get closer and closer to the cure.

 

Money buys science and science saves lives. -- The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
