The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is pleased to announce the 2013 Kent Island GREAT STRIDES WALK will be held at 9:00am on Sunday, May 5th and hosted for the third consecutive year by Bridges on Kent Narrows Restaurant. “We’re happy to host the walk for CF and look forward to another great day,” said Bridges Restaurant General Manager, Michael Moon.

“The walk will begin and end at Bridges Restaurant, so plan to arrive by car or boat! There is plenty of free parking and dockage. Participants will receive a t-shirt, goodie bag and a chance to win door prizes selected at random by our nieces Audrey & Olivia,” said 2013 Walk Chair and CF Aunt, Tammy Shay. “Come out for a scenic walk through the Narrows on the Cross Island Trail; enjoy the turnaround water station hosted by Fishergate, Inc. and stay for a relaxing waterfront lunch,” Shay added.

While remarkable progress in research and new medicines has been made, more must be done to find a cure.
