1st I just have to tell you about our Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Great Strides 5k walk on May 18th. We had a team of 40 walkers ranging in ages 3-78 and 3 furry friends, who all crossed the finish line! Team Grayson raised over $14,000 and all the Charlotte Teams, comprised of over 600 people, combined raised over $229,000! How awesome is that? The weather was perfect at Freedom Park and the festivities were so much fun. Team Grayson won the award~ "Most money raised by a new team".
We were one of the 1st teams to start the walk and as I look back over the sea of people behind us circling the pond at the park, emotions just flooded my heart. To know that so many people are passionate to find a cure for CF is so wonderful and helps those of us with a direct connection to CF know that there is HOPE for a cure.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, family and friends that love and support us each day. We will begin again in October to raise money again for the 2014 event. We hope we can count you in!
