Tulsa Run - Our Mission
On October 31st our team will be running in the 2009 Tulsa Run to raise money and awareness for a non-profit organization
called CF Solutions. Our friend Russ, a 39 year old with CF, will be joining us on this 15k (9.3 miles) run in our attempt to help
an organization that has done so
much to keep him and hundreds of others suffering from this disease healthy until a cure can be found. More About Russ
