I'm trying to recall if Team Jose started participating in the Great Strides Walk in 2004 or 2005. I believe it was 2004. But, I don't have any pictures or any records showing money collected. So, we're going with 2005, and that way, we can make 2014 our ten year anniversary!
It definitely can burn you out participating every year. It gets frustrating when the people you know should be helping the most are the people that are not. But, I'm going to continue to do my part until Cystic Fibrosis is cured. We've made great headway in the past ten years.
Having walked that many years, our team has raised $15,377! This year, I'm making our team goal of $20K. Which means, we need to raise a little over $4,623 (minus the $175 already in the bank). The only year we ever raised close to that amount was in 2008 when Joey passed away. This year I am actually sending out campaign letters and will be emailing more people. So watch out cause I'm coming after everyone this year!
Here's a must-watch video that my step-mom made a few years back.
