GREAT STRIDES: Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest national fund-raising event. Tens of thousands of co-workers, friends and family come together each year as one community for one cause…to help find a cure for CF. In 2008, nearly $37 million was raised to support vital CF programs.
About GREAT STRIDES
In cities all across the United States, tens of thousands of people just like you are showing their commitment to "adding tomorrows every day" to the lives of those with cystic fibrosis through the simple act of walking.
Year after year, volunteers make every GREAT STRIDES walk site both fun and successful. Their dedication has helped GREAT STRIDES become one of the country's most effective and efficient fundraising efforts. Since the first GREAT STRIDES walk in 1989, more than $180 million has been raised to support the vital research and care programs of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

**I have created a team (Ollie's Army) and am currently looking for team members to join in this wonderful cause. The next walk near us is on October 3rd at 8:30 AM in Crestview, Florida. If you are interested in joining Ollie's Army please contact me through comments. I need your e-mail address and I can send you a direct link to sign up. It's easy and fun to be team member. You will receive an e-mail once you sign up, with a password in which to log on to your Ollie's Army page. There you can view other team member's progress as well as watch your donations and send e-mails to friends to get more walkers. Our team goal is $3000.00 with each individual goal set at $150.00. How easy is that?! It would be a fun day for everyone and for a GREAT cause!!! If you do not live near Crestview or would like to make a donation to Ollie's Army please click on the Great Strides link at the top right side of my blog.
Thank you everyone for the support!!
