Colin's Clan Takes One More 'Great Stride' Towards Curing CF

As Colin's Clan gathered at Rock Island Public House, 10-year-old Colin Walsh, of Naperville, ran around and played in the courtyard of the RIPH with his cousin. While catching a breath, Colin told me he just wants to be normal and to be rid of cystic fibrosis, the disease he's had since birth.

While the technology is not yet available to rid him of his affliction, the money raised last week at A Summer Night for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Colin will provide funds that may help researchers get one 'Great Stride' closer to finding Colin a cure.
