On April 23, 2003, Colin was born with cystic fibrosis. After undergoing surgery for a ruptured bowel at two days old and spending a month in the hospital, we attended our first CFF walk only two weeks later. We've never stopped fundraising since then. This (occasionally posted to) blog highlights some of the things we do to raise money and some of the news on the progress of cf research.
Wine Event and Museum Event
We have a couple of events that we are working on for the Naperville area. The first will be a wine event. We met a great guy about six months back who had a brother die of CF 55 years ago. We got him hooked into fundraising for CFF now. He started a letter writing campaign in his brother's name and brought in about $17k in the last month. Anyway, he is in the wine business and we decided to leverage that and have a wine tasting here in Naperville. Aside from the walk in June, Naperville is lacking in events for CFF. So, we are shooting for March on this. We are also bringing back the Night at the Museum at the Dupage Children's Museum. This was a great family night and we brought in a lot of money last year. Shoot me an email at chris at curecfnow.com if you can help out on either.
