INFO ON - RUNING FOR RESEARCH

[SCOOBYDOO]

HELLO - I AM 34 YEARS OLD, AND I DO NOT HAVE CF. HOWEVER, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE CAUSE. I AM CURRENTLY TRAINING FOR MY 1ST MARATHON. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR MY RUN AND MAKE PLEDGES, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT? iS THERE A FOUNDATION OR A NUMBER i COULD CALL TO FIND OUT HOW & WHERE i SHOULD BEGIN? I KNOW I'D LIKE ALL THE PROFITS FROM MY SPONSORS TO GO TO CF RESEARCH. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS - (WHO WERE BROTHER & SISTER) WHO HAVE CF. SADLY, ONE HAS ALREADY LOST HER COURAGEOUS BATTLE WITH THE DISEASE. IF YOU KNOW HOW I CAN USE THIS MONEY THAT I WILL RAISE TO HELP, PLEASE POST OR E-MAIL ANY IDEAS. TARA_COATES@YAHOO.COMIS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS EVER KNOWN ANYONE WHO HAS RUN A RACE IN THE NAME OF CF FUND RAISING? IF SO, PLEASE POST SOME MESSAGE ON HOW & WHERE i SHOULD BEGIN. THE RACE IS IN JANUARY. i'M TRAINING VERY HARD & HOPE THAT MY EFFORTS WILL HELP SOME PEOPLE SURRFERING WITH CF.THANK YOU,TARA COATES

Hi Tara, my 17yr old ran the flying pig marathon in cincinnati last year, for his sister who has cf. We donated the money to the cystic fibrosis foundation for research, just go to their web site at www.cff.org and find your local chapters telephone number and they will be able to help you.Thanks for wanting to raise money for CF . I'm sure everyone affected by this disease agrees with me.Sincerely, Carolyn
