We've been very busy the past few months with our Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Great Strides 5k walk in May. So far Team Grayson has 33 members and has collected $9,220 in donations. I am so humbled by how well everyone has done. When my daughter, Megan, and I attended the CFF Great Strides kick off, we were reluctant to set our goal at $1000, much less ever dream that we could collect close to $10,000. So many have been generous and dedicated to helping us raise these funds for research and maybe a cure for CF.
I heard the other day that our government has done a study on how many people live together before marrying. My heart was broken thinking that we waste money on something like that when there are 30,000 children and adults living in the US that have CF and struggle each day to live. If you haven't donated, would you consider a small donation? 90 cents from every dollar goes toward this research and no amount is too small. Our prayer is that maybe a treatment or cure will be in time to help our Grayson.
Grayson....he continues to do well with bumps along the way. He has lost 5 pounds due to having the flu, but everyone is working hard to get those pounds replaced. Another infection has surfaced in his lungs which warranted another round of antibiotics. But, he is so happy, loves paying t-ball and going to church and school. Please continue to pray for him. We are in hopes that he will be healthy enough to join us for our Great Strides Walk on May 18th.
This picture was taken last Friday at a FUNdraiser that we had at our home. We had a cookout and movie on the lawn at dark. We had 75 in attendance and raised $650! In the background, see that huge bounce castle? The children, especially Grayson LOVED that thing! Maybe next year all of you reading this can join us?
Thank you again for your constant thoughts and prayers. We feel them each day.
Hugs to all!
