Dear Faithful,

I am writing this in hopes that some of you in my extended Bertram Family will respond favorably in this endeavor. My brother has 3 young chidren. 2 of them are afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis. Every year they all participate in a Walk-a-thon to raise money and awareness to find a cure for this terrible condition. Every year, I make a donation as well. I would appreciate if you would take the time to read my parent's letter and consider making a donation to their cause.

Dear Friends & Family:

Well, we started 2006 with a bang!In January, the grandkids karate school (Matt is a senior red belt & Michael is a senior blue belt) held their annual martial arts demonstration for charity. This year they chose the CF Foundation. The school raised $53,000. It was a very emotional, moving day to see “strangers” take up our cause.

We now turn to you, our family and friends, to help once again with our annual Walk-A-Thon.

Recently, cystic fibrosis has been in the news regarding a relatively cheap, easy, new type of treatment. Inhaled super-concentrated saline has been shown to decrease lung infections. This prevents further scarring and maintains lung functions. Who would of thought that something so “simple” as saline could add quality and quantity to the lives of those with CF?

Over the years our family talked about whether there ever will be a “cure”. We don’t know. We pray that there will be. We know for certain that it is new treatments and medicines that offer the most hope right now. This study was done by the foundation, thanks in part to support from friends like you!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!

Please remember no donation is too small. Please consider asking only one other person to also make a donation.

The Walk-A-Thon is on May 21st.,at Pt.Pleasant, NJ. All donations need to be returned to us by May 15th.2006. Checks should be made payable to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or CFF.

Once again thank you for your financial and emotional support. Please continue to keep us in your prayers----G-d bless and keep you.

Love,

Mary & Sy
People Just Like You

Again Faithful I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read this post. Please consider a small donation....maybe a day's coffee money, nothing extravagent, a little from each of us can go a long way in helping their cause. Checks payable to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or CFF can be mailed to my address and I will personally deliver them to my parents. My address is.....
