Great Shares from Joanne Struz!




Dear Friends, It is hard to believe that 2013 will mark five years since the loss of our beloved grandson, Ronan James McCarthy. Our hearts remain heavy with his loss and we sorely miss his presence in our family. We are blessed and comforted with many loving memories of our beautiful and joyful angel, who spread joy and love to all who knew him in his short three years.

In loving memory of Ronan we will participate for the fourth year in the 2013 GREAT STRIDES WALK for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). The 2013 event will take place at the Wakefield Lower Common at Lake Quannapowitt on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 9:30 A.M. as TEAM STAR STRIDERS. Our family has always referred to Ronan as our "shining star", thus we chose our team name with this in mind.

Over the past three years TEAM STAR STRIDERS, through funds raised for our Great Strides Walks, have donated more than $13,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.to help find a cure for this devastating disease and to improve the quality of life for CF patients.We hope to meet or surpass our team goal to raise $4000 in 2013 with your kind and generous help. Your donation will be used efficiently and effectively, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care, and education.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the "Click to Donate" button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my team. If you prefer, you may send a check to my home address made out to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and I will submit it in your name to be credited to TEAM STAR STRIDERS. Any amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Great Strides, and TEAM STAR STRIDERS!

Sincerely, Joanne and Michael McCarthy
