Great Stride walkers raise more than $40,000

Wed, May 21, 2008    to del.icio.us




More than 200 walkers participated in the Great Strides Walk — an event to raise funds to cure Cystic Fibrosis — on Sunday. The walk, held by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, raised more than $40,000 for the cause. Participants walked five miles around Grand Haven from Chinook Pier.

Several businesses from around the community donated both money and door prizes to the event.

In addition to raising money, the Walk also increased awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. The potentially fatal disease affects more than 300 people in West Michigan. Through research paid for by events like the Walk, those with Cystic Fibrosis are living longer than ever before.
