If anyone could read this and tell me what you think. We are going to send the letter to local business any input would be great.
Thanks
Dear Business:
My name is Megan Tanner and my son and I have made a commitment to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to participate in their annual nationwide walk event called GREAT STRIDES: Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis. I am writing to ask for your help and to enlist your support for this most worthwhile event.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than 10 million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Much progress has been made toward finding a cure for CF, however, the CF Foundation's work is far from over, as precious young lives continue to be lost to this disease.
My family and I are all affected by CF as my son Cody has the disease. He has been living with CF for 11 years. He does aerosols and uses the Vest which helps knock the mucus from his lungs 4 times a day. He also has to take multiple medications throughout the day. He is admitted to the hospital 3-4 times a year for "clean-outs" which is intense I.V. therapy, aerosols, and pounding of his chest every 3 hours for 2 weeks at a time.
On May 5, 2007 we will be walking with a large group of family and friends at Ottawa Park in honor of Cody. Collectively, our team would like to raise more than 2000.00 dollars to support the vital research and care programs of the CF Foundation.
Here is where you can help! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Great Strides walk for whatever your budget will allow- to help further vital CF research. You may send a check, made payable to the "Cystic Fibrosis Foundation," to Megan Tanner 4203 Birchall Rd. Toledo, Ohio 43612. Or, you can donate online at www.cff.org/great strides. Just type my name in under "Find a Walker"-it's simple! Please know that not only would I be grateful for your support, but so would the tens of thousands of people who live with CF every day. Through your support the life expectancy of someone with CF has been extended to 28 years of age.
Your contribution will enable the CF Foundation to take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities in CF research that are now on the horizon. The path to finding a cure for CF is paved with numerous research opportunities-anyone of which could have a profound impact on the lives of those with the disease. The only thing standing in the way of a cure is additional money to fund this life-saving research. Your support allows us to give children and adults with CF the quality of life and future they deserve.
Thank you for supporting this important cause!
Sincerely,
to help raise money for Cody's Crew for the walk
Thanks
