Great Strides 2010




It was a windy, cold day last Saturday for our Great Strides walk. My Aunt Annie and Cousin Emma watched me while Mom went to the walk. I had a blast playing with them. Dad had to be in Mount Pleasant for work leadership training.

My parents and I want to thank all of you who came to the walk, who were there in spirit, and those of you who donated to help me and all others fighting CF. Your generosity pushes us closer towards a cure. I also want to thank all of the family and friends walking in other states this year. Ben's Buddies is now recognized as a national team! The support system we have is amazing!

We had new shirts made this year. I want to thank Somer Love for donating her artistic talents and for giving Mom permission to use one of her painting designs on our shirts. Somer is a fabulous woman who Mom got a chance to meet over the phone. Somer called her all the way from Utah! Mom loves Somer's work and also loves the jewelry her friend Lissa makes (using Somer's art as inspiration) to raise money for CF.

We still have shirts available. Each shirt is $10 and $5 will go towards CF. If you would like a shirt please e-mail Mom at katipannecouck@gmail.com and let her know the quantity and size. If we still have your size available we will put one aside for you. The sizes range from youth medium to adult XL. If you would like it shipped it will be an extra $4 to package and ship the shirt.


If you would still like to donate to help me in my fight you can click on my Great Strides link on the right hand side of my blog.

High Five,

Ben
