A few weeks back, Aunt Karen captained a Great Strides Walk in Reno, Nevada at beautiful San Rafael Park. The team was small in number but mighty in love for Dean and our cause. Aunt Dor and Uncle Hank joined Aunt Karen and Uncle Rod for the 5K sporting the Team Eat. Pray. Dean shirts and raising both awareness in Reno as well as over $1,000 for CF research. They made connections with both the CF staff and local families throughout this process. Among all the amazing advancements happening in the CF world, we're finding some interesting CF connections within our family that is driving this team to even further increase their participation in so many ways. It's hard not to think with all this support that we're going to kick this disease. Thank you Aunt Karen and Dor, Uncle Rod and Hank for representing us in Reno. Thank you to all of Aunt Karen's donors and benefactors that helped her raise money! We truly appreciate all of the work and love that you put into helping us and Dean and could not do this without all of you.
