One's trash might be another's treasure!

That can hold a lot of truth to it! Shane and I have been brainstorming about some ideas for the 2009 Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis. I know what you are thinking..."dang, Melissa, that walk is not until May". And yes you are correct. But with the economy the way it is the first thing that can feel the pinch of a penny is the non-profit sector. So this coming spring we are going to hold a GIGANTIC yard sale. All proceeds will go to the CF walk to help with CF research. As I have said before, there are amazing drugs/therapies in the pipeline that could potentially change the lives of so many CF'ers. But the money to continue the research can be very hard to come by. So these next couple of months keep an eye out in your home for things you wish to pass on and donate to the yard sale. I will send out more info in a couple of months with more specifics. To see what Caleb's everyday life with CF is all about please watch the 4 minute video at the bottom of my blog's page (it is best if you pause the music I have playing on my blog to hear the video).
