I think that this article is good for my topic because it talks about an event held by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation called Great Strides. Great Strides is a 5K walk with efforts to raise money for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. This event is similar to Relay for Life in that they are taking steps towards finding a cure for a serious illness. They raise money all year leading up to the event and take pledges and it is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s largest national fundraiser. This article talks about one little girl who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and how Great Strides has helped her and her experience at the walk. I feel like this article is good for me because it talks about a non-profit organization that hosts an event in order to raise funds for research and plans to make a difference in the community.
