#24 (February): Participate in one volunteer/non-profit activity each month.

Date Completed:  2/6/2010

February’s event was really special to me.  I have a beautiful, energetic and inspiring friend who has been showing Cystic Fibrosis (CF) what she’s made of since 1985.  Once again this year, J’s Crew took over the stairwell at IDS Center – that’s 50 floors / 1,280 steps – in downtown Minneapolis to support Climb for a Cure.  This was the CF Foundation’s 29th year of “going vertical” to defeat CF.  We used social networking this year to help increase participation and donations so a huge thank you to those who so graciously participated by either climbing or sponsoring.  J’s Crew was 50 climbers strong this year (the largest team we’ve ever had) and we collected over $9,600 in donations which will support CF research.  To see more pics from the climb, please visit our Facebook Page.  Be sure to join the Facebook group if you’d like to be notified of next year’s climb.  For more information, please see the CF Foundation site.  Thank you again for your support this month!
