FSR is pleased to partner with the Respiratory Health
Association of Metropolitan Chicago and other community health
organizations in raising awareness of and financial support for lung
diseases through the 2008 Hike for
Lung Health.
Co-Captains Andrea Wilson
and Karen Russell have set a goal of raising $10,000.00 for Team
Sarcoidosis. These funds will be used to support critical research
and education initiatives at the Foundation. We hope you will
register to join them for either a one or three mile walk along Chicago's
lakefront at Montrose Harbor on Sunday, September 21, 2008.
In addition to the Hike for Lung Health T-shirt, all registered Team
Sarcoidosis walkers will receive a special thank you gift from FSR
and additional prizes will be awarded to walkers who raise the largest
amount in pledges.
Walk Details:
Sunday, September 21, 2008, at 10:00 AM
Chicago’s lakefront (Montrose Harbor)
$10 Registration Fee Required
How to Help:
-
Register as a Team Sarcoidosis Walker (fee is $10).
You
can then create your own page to tell your personal sarcoidosis
story and be able to help raise money for FSR by asking your
friends, family, neighbors and colleagues to sponsor you
as a walker.
-
Make a
General Donation to the Walk. If you have contacted the
Foundation and someone on our staff has been particularly helpful,
sponsor that individual or pledge a general donation in their honor.
FSR will retain 75% of all funds raised by our
walkers, the remaining 25% will be used by the Respiratory Health
Association of Metropolitan Chicago to defray event costs and to fund lung disease research in Metropolitan Chicago.
The registration fee
of $10 per walker will cover costs for t-shirts, refreshments, park permits,
etc.
