Join the Genova family of Garden City as they take "great strides" in raising awareness and money for cystic fibrosis research on Saturday, May 10, and help them meet their personal goal of $100,000. The walk will be held at Hofstra University at 11 a.m. Registration begins at 9 a.m.

Matt and Danielle Genova, along with their sons Jake and Max, have been very active in Great Strides, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest national fundraising event, since Jake was diagnosed with the disease in 2002.

To join "Jake's Team," visit www.cff.org/great_strides/JakesTeam, and click on "Click to Donate." You do not have to actually walk to become a member of "Jake's Team." For more information, call Danielle Genova at (516) 248-8686.

If you prefer to mail a donation, make checks payable to "The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation" and mail to 80 Wellington Rd., Garden City, NY 11530. More than 90 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to funding the potential cure for this disease.
