was told this is not a good idea because other CFers could also be there even though it is outside.

Hi Debbie,
I know many CFers, including myself attend the Great Strides events.. Since it is outdoors i think it is pretty safe.
Im sure Jessica knows to keep her distance & take precautions when necessary ..
Hope your event is a great experience for you all if you should decide to attend ..
Take care <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni

It was easier for us when DS was smaller because we kept him in his stroller and he stayed with our group the whole time.
There were a few years we did NOT take him because our walk is held at a park and he wanted to play with all the other kids on the equipment. Another reason is that DH and I are the Walk Chairs, so we're busy helping set up, speaking... and my MIL just isn't as vigilant as we are. They have a LOT of food -- donuts, cookies, dessert breads, juice, soda, pizza, granola bars... and I try to avoid the food that is open and EVERYONE is touching and I use lots of hand sanitizer.
This past year, we told DS ahead of time that we didn't want him on the playground equipment and that we would take him to a park near his grandparents house later in the afternoon.
Being that Jessica is older, I imagine she just needs to keep her distance -- some places have stickers identifying who has cf. And like I said the other thing is the food issue. If she's going to partake, see how it's handled and maybe opt for individually packaged items.

Just because you're outside doesn't mean that you can't catch bacteria.
I'm always stunned at how people use the same pens to sign in on the day of the walk; they hug each other or shake hands (you hug someone who has hugged someone with CF); there is a common serving utencil for self-serve food after the walk; etc etc etc.
If you can be careful of all these things and stay 3 feet away from everyone, then it's OK. But it's not an easy task.
