Asking You For Help

We just wanted to see if by any chance you could help us out in the following ways: (one or all) 1) Join our team and come walk with us. 2) Donate to our Team Cause (any amount would be appropriated greatly) and 3) Have a friend match your commitment (Walking and/or Donation)

Our, Kailey Bug, is our team leader (my Granddaughter). She has asked us to join in to help one of her close friends that is fighting this disease with grace. Kailey and Us would love for you to join in to help her show how much she cares about her friend -- she is a true princess after all.

Here is a bit of information about our cause:

Cystic fibrosis is the most prevalent genetic disease in the United States. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now - more than ever - to help keep up the momentum of this lifesaving research. Too many young lives depend on this vital research to let it go unfunded!

Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event. This year, I'm walking in the Great Strides event at the 2011 Southern Utah - Coral Canyon Elementary (Washington, UT) site on 04/30/2011. Please help me meet my fundraising goal of $150.00 by sponsoring me. You'll feel confident in knowing that your generous gift is used efficiently and effectively: Nearly 90 cents of every dollar of Foundation revenue goes to support vital CF research, medical and education programs. And, it's tax-deductible.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click on the link below to make a donation to my fundraising page. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!

Donating to Great Strides is such a simple and effective way for you to show your support for this important cause. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF. Once again, thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation.

If you encounter a problem with a link, please visit my Great Strides Home Page at http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/PattiAndDeboysGilbert!

NOTE: If link looks broken, cut and paste ENTIRE link into address bar. If you are presented with a "Find A Walker" page, enter my first and last name and click on "Find Walker." Then click "View Walker" by my name in the results list to go to "My Great Strides Home Page."

Thank you,
Patti & Deboys Gilbert

  1. We have given to Cystic Fibrosis already this year - there is a huge stair-climb in Columbus each February and we always sponsor a friend. Good luck to your granddaughter!

  2. Ricky -- did you climb the stairs?

    Kathy and Ricky -- Thank you for your support. My granddaughter has done a terrific job organizing this team by recruiting walking members, getting a Corp. Sponsor to provide matching t-shirts for the team and raising $$$'s for the cause. We are sure proud of our little true princess. We will post photo's of the event later.

    Thank you both for giving us a pat on the back.
