THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We participated in our first Great Strides Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis on May 15th at the Milwaukee Zoo. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation receives zilch in funding from the government so this is the CFF's largest national event to raise money to find a cure. We want to shout out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who walked and/or donated. It was an emotional day for us even if we didn't show it on our faces. We felt saddened that we must take part in something to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for out little man. However, we felt surrounded by love and support from the awesome people who braved the gail force winds and winter like temps. Our hope is that we don't have to walk in these for too many years and that Mason will be afforded a long and prosperous life.
Can you believe we were dressed like this on May 15th?!
It was a big crowd...next year we are gonna have Team Mason shirts too!
Thank you to my mom and Becky for making the 4 hour drive to walk with us!
Thanks to Jackie for pulling in the 3rd highest amount of donations!
Mason really is under there...promise!
Peek-a-boo! I see you!

One last stop before heading home to warm up!
Thank you again to everyone who came and supported our family, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the 70,000 others out there who are fighting this battle. We are humbled at the amount of support we have gotten from everyone since his diagnosis. With this being our first year, we were not sure how much we were going to raise and again we were humbled at the amount. I am proud to report that as of today (May 21st) Team Mason has raised $3875. There are still some donations that have not made it into the system yet. We also have not heard the final number for the Milwaukee event yet, but I did hear that we surpassed the Milwaukee event goal of $275,000! So, again Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!
