Cystic Fibrosis Walk 2016

On April 30, 2016 we participated in our 9th annual Great Strides walk to benefit Cystic Fibrosis research. The walk is put on by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation ("CFF") - but most of my donors make a contribution to the Tara K. Telford fund for Cystic Fibrosis Research at UC Davis.

My "team" is called "Pleasanton Moms" but there was only one year when I was able to convince other moms to walk with us. :-) No worries though, we always have a great time and enjoy the energy of being with others that also know and care about someone with CF.

We walk in honor of my friend, Tara. She is a-maze-ing!! She had a double lung transplant in January 2016. She is positive, and fun, and strong. I guarantee that if you knew her, you'd want to walk in her honor too.

This is right before the walk - we were wearing our Think Pink Lungs - Team Telford t-shirts.

On the walk - it is in a beautiful park in Walnut Creek

Some college kids volunteer to cheer on the walkers. I really liked "Don't stop believing, walk on for your healing." Very clever!

This was the quote they put with the "Pleasanton Moms" team sign.

One highlight, not related to CF, was seeing a mom with her baby ducks in a stream.

Then the cute little ducks crossed our path.

And .... bonus ..... there is a playground there!
