This year's fundraising event for Cystic Fibrosis is set for Sunday afternoon, May 16th. It's a six-mile walk starting from Old Mill Park, with participants looping through downtown Fredericksburg.
Among those involved is Spotsylvania resident Colleen Miller, who's 7-year old son Scott has CF. Miller has raised more than $15,000 in the past two years.
Coleen Miller says "these children have really, really difficult lives and they deserve better." She adds "the only way we can give them a better life is to help find a cure."
Scott Miller is one of several children in the local area with CF.
Money raised from the May walk goes to research to try and find a cure for the deadly genetic lung disease.
