old son Seamus has </span></span><span style="font-family: ArialMT; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><a href="http://www.cff.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(67, 84, 88);"><span style="font-size: small;">Cystic Fibrosis</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">. This disease is a genetic disorder that
affects the lungs and intestines with a current lifespan of 37.5 years. Seamus
has the heart of a lion and is a smart, fun and very engaging kid.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">Due to the current economic conditions, we know not every person
can afford to donate a lot of money to charities. Even a small amount is appreciated
and luckily, there are four easy ways to help cure Cystic Fibrosis.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">You can drop into </span></span><span style="font-family: ArialMT; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><a href="http://www.franklinsbrewery.com/fundraisers/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(67, 84, 88);"><span style="font-size: small;">Franklin's Microbrewery & General Store</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;"> during normal
operating hours on May 11 for CF Great Strides day. Just tell the hostess,
bartender or cashier when you come that you want your purchase counted toward
the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk. They will help you from there.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">You can also donate </span></span><span style="font-family: ArialMT; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><a><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(67, 84, 88);"><span style="font-size: small;">here</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;"> or by writing a check to the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation and giving it to Jim Coleman at the farmers market. You can drop
your spare change into a jug at the market marked CF Great Strides.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and
most successful national fund-raising event. This year, the Coleman family is
walking in the GREAT STRIDES walk at the 2009 Rockville - Mattie J. T. Stepanek
Park walk on 05/16/2009 in honor of our son Seamus. Please help us meet our
team fund-raising goal of $5,000.00 by sponsoring us. Your generous gift will
be used efficiently and effectively, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar of
revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support
research, care and education.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: small;">Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that
affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States.
Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge
difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. However, we
continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That's why your help is needed
now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later.
