Hike for Mike and a letter from Maggie Rose

Betty from the fantastic crew at 6:15 let us know about a wonderful event to benefit Cystic Fibrosis. A few days later Amy from Epsom’s ladies let us know about another fundraiser to help out those with CF. This is a cause near and dear to the Get Fit NH family and we want to pass this information along to you. Here are the two events coming up.

1.  May 18, 2013 Hike for Mike

This is a walk at Jessica and Mike Bates house in Chichester starting at 11am.  Jessica is a crazy 5am client in Epsom and it is her husband Mike that we are walking for.  You can find more about the walk or make a donation at Cystic Fibrosis Hike For Mike

2. June 15, 2013 Race to cure Cystic Fibrosis

This is a 5k /15k run or walk around beautiful Bow Lake.  Amy from Chichester Massage will be at the event and we all know what that means. (Chair massages). To register or find out more about the event go to Bow Lake Dam 5k/15k

Now if you don’t know much about Cystic Fibrosis here is the version Maggie Rose gives. She is a 9 year old little girl with CF who runs the race to cure Cystic Fibrosis every year at Bow Lake.

Dear Race Team,

One of my favorite things is being your special example for Cystic Fibrosis. I love going to the race and seeing so many friends and their families. I like everything about the race. I like when people come here to help us raise money.

The money you raised in past years is really helping a lot of people with CF. One of the CF medicines that scientists made with the money helps tell the cells in the body to work better. It makes some people with CF much less sick. They are able to breathe better, gain weight, and feel more energetic.

The medicine that will help me is still in trial. The money we raise at our race will hopefully go to the special medicine I can get someday!!

People like me, love people like you!

Thank you,

Maggie Rose

We know this is hitting hearts right at Get Fit NH so help make Great Strides to wipe out CF.
