Off to the races!

OK, well it's not really a race....but off to the walk I go! Hubby took the digital camera to his auto race event today, so I am stuck with the disposable one. Because of this I won't have pictures to post immediately, but I will definitely get them up within the next few days. =)

Oh, and as a final donation update.....my team raised 780.00 dollars online, and I believe one of my members is brining money to the race today so I'm expecting about 800.00ish total from our four people. Yay!

Countdown! **Updated**

OK, so there are 3 days until my CF walk and as of this morning I haven't received any specific information about that day from the chapter head. Obviously I know where it is and what time to be there, but I haven't been given a map of the walking route, rain plans, food and refreshment info (are lunch, snacks, or water provided?), things like that. I just feel that at this point in the game, all of this stuff should have been sent out to team leaders. Just saying.

Update: I did finally get a call today for any final details, however I am now sort of bummed. As it turns out, the walk in my area is NOT a 10K like the national website states....it's only 3 miles (technically not even a 5K, but pretty close). I felt great walking that 5K 2 weeks ago, and I was really excited about upping my distance. Poop!

1 week from today!

My CF walk is one week from today. The weather is supposed to be great and I'm really excited! I will of course have updates and pictures to share =)

GREAT STRIDES walk

Hello everyone out there! As many of you know besides being infertile I have Cystic Fibrosis, and in a few posts below this one made a commitment to help in the cure for CF. I am donating money to the C.ystic Fi.brosis Found.ation, however on top of this I have decided to became a team leader for my local GREAT STRIDES walk. This means that I need to get people to sponsor me walking in order to raise money.

I know that everyone out here in this great big IF blog world has a lot on their plate, but I am asking if you could just take one minute to look at my website, here (or under the "About Me" on the left side of my blog), and consider donating for this cause. I want to do this to help save children's lives so I hope that is your reason too, but just for added information CF affects fertility too...about 97 percent of men with CF present with azoospermia due to CBAVD, and women with CF often have a harder time conceiving due to thickened mucus in the fallopian tubes, around the egg itself and in the cervix. However, in my eyes this issue is secondary as I have recently attended a funeral for someone only 3 years older than myself.....a wonderful person who was taken too soon and never got the chance to marry or even try for a family....she would have been a great mother.

Every little bit helps....every bit may save a life.

Thanks!
