A very close friend of mine died 12/25/2004 from Cystic Fibrosis and we are going on a walk to help raise money to find a cure and I have not got any donations yet and the walk is 4/29/2006 How can I get donations on-line?

You will need to get donations from your friends and family as it is highly unlikely that anyone who does not know you or your friend will be willing to send in donations on your behalf.

Hello
The six-minute walking test has been widely utilized to evaluate global exercise capacity in patients with cystic fibrosis. The aim of this study was to assess the exercise capacity by 6MWT, measuring four outcome measures: walk distance, oxygen saturation and pulse rate during the walk, and breathlessness perception after the walk, in a group of cystic fibrosis adults with mild to moderate lung disease, and in healthy volunteers, as the control group. Moreover, the study examined the relationship between 6MWT outcome measures and pulmonary function in patients. Twenty-five adults with cystic fibrosis and 22 healthy volunteers performed a 6MWT following a standard protocol. Walk distance, oxygen saturation and pulse rate at rest and during walk, and breathlessness perception after walk assessed by visual analogue scale were measured. whereas walk distance was not reliably predicted by any assessed variables. This study showed that cystic fibrosis adults with mild to moderate lung disease covered a normal walk distance with unimpaired cardiac adaptation, but experienced a significant fall in oxygen saturation and an increased breathlessness perception during exercise. Resting pulmonary function was related to oxygen saturation and breathlessness perception during walk, but contributed significantly only to the prediction of oxygen saturation. We suggest that 6MWT could be valuable for identifying patients who might experience oxygen desaturation and dyspnoea during demanding daily activities.

Hello Friends,

You will need to get donations from your friends and family as it is highly unlikely that anyone who does not know you or your friend will be willing to send in donations on your behalf. Last year we raised a bit over $6000.00 for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and this year we're looking to crush that goal. We have a bunch of events planned to raise some big coinage. About 3 shows with local bands with all proceeds going to our cause. As well, we're having a steak night and silent auction with donations from local businesses and artists. This is where I was hoping some of you might be able to help:
If you're an artist, have a business or are just willing to help in any way let me know. We're looking for donations to put up for auction to sell with all the money going to Great Strides Walk/Cystic Fibrosis Canada. I understand there may be a geographical gap for some people but we could hopefully work around that. We've got a bunch of stuff from local muscians as well, so if you're in a sweet band, have a kind heart and might donate some of your merch, it would ean the effin' world to me, us and our cause.

Thanks and Regards,
Lucy James
