2025 is our 23rd year of Great Strides and our team, Benjamin & the Laniacs, is getting ready! Our team of amazing family and friends will again be joining in at the Spokane Great Strides on June 7, 2025, at 9:30 am starting at Riverfront Park North Bank Shelter. Please help us meet our team fund-raising goal of $3,000.00 by sponsoring our team with a tax deductible donation in honor of Elaina and Ben or joining our team and walking at Great Strides!
It is easy to register to walk with us in June. Click the link below to join Benjamin & The Laniacs and take Great Strides to cure CF.
Elaina was diagnosed at 5 months of age with Cystic Fibrosis and has had several dozen hospitalizations over the years for lung infections, digestive problems and complications from her CF related Diabetes. We received the results of the genetic testing that Benjamin also has cystic fibrosis when he was 8 days old. We do our best to keep the kids relatively healthy with daily treatments and medications, but hospital stays and tune-ups are still needed at times to battle persistent infections and avoiding as much long term lung damage as possible.
CF is a devastating, life shortening genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. Both Elaina and Ben have benefited tremendously from research and medications created by funds from the CF Foundation. Each year we walk to raise money for research, which one day will find the cure for our two precious kids and the others living with this disease.
Our walk team has seen great success in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis each year because of your generosity and support. Please help us continue our success and our hope for a cure by contributing to the cause.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure a happy and healthy life for Lanie, Benjamin and all others with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and Great Strides!
Sincerely, Bob, Sam, Elaina, and Ben Nixon "Benjamin & The Laniacs"
