I think everyone knows that he has CF but I don't think many people understand what it is, and since it is hereditary, I was thinking informative as well as it would be nice if some money could go to research. I at first was thinking about the mailing labels that CFF.org sends for free. We have gotten them and with them they send a little card asking for contributions. I was thinking this would be nice, if people wanted to get some mailing labels, ( and then possibly donating as well as getting more info about CF), but I have only been able to find a way of signing up from online. So to answer your question, I kind of wanted people to understand what CF is and possibly understanding would help them want to donate.
It always kind of gets me when I see all the commercials and people helping lukemia and lymphoma, aids and all this other stuff (which I understand is important) but since CF is more rare, it seems it gets no attention.
I have also thought about just waiting until Great Strides next year (we did not participate this year) but thought it might be nice3 to do something in the cards as well.
