Need help starting Great strides Letter

Looking for some input/ideas on the Great Strides fundraising letter. It is hard to send every year. I want to somehow incorporate, how dedicated our family is to being involved not only in monetary input for CF but also that my husband will be actually doing CF research. Not sure if it's appropriate for the letter. In addition, I want to add how Maggie's health has been stable in her health care regime, although time-consuming it's keeping her out of the hospital(though the elephant in the room is always there). Need something catchy? Writer's block. HELP!

Maybe use a reference to the brushing teeth thing that was mentioned in my earlier thread?!? You could start off the letter with something about that and springboard from there. I really loved that analogy! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

It is difficult to express and especially year after year. Here is the link to my great strides web page. You can read my online letter and watch Weston's montage and maybe that will give you some ideas. I always find something that I steal from other people's montages and letters. If you want to steal anything go ahead (I probably got it from someone else..LOL)

Other than that write from your heart and rework it if it doesn't sound right. It will come to you if you write your feelings down.
