The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is near and dear to the heart of Spring Fling organizer, Nicki Whitworth, whose close friend has three children with Cystic Fibrosis. If you would like to know more about the Walker family, here is an article about them from TheLedger.com

Cystic Fibrosis Kids

From the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website:

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
• clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and
• obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Great Strides Walk for CF

Nicki will also be participating in the Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis on May 19, 2012. If you would like to walk with or help sponsor Nicki as she walks the Great Strides walk, please visit her fundraising page at: http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/NickiWhitworth7799

If you would like to contribute prizes to the raffle or would like further information about this event, please contact Nicki Whitworth at mrswhit728@gmail.com. All vendor spaces are filled at this time.
