Walk While You Work to Support CF!

YOU walk, WE Donate! (there’s no catch, really!) The season of the Great Strides Walk is among us! For those of you who don’t know, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation hosts a walk every year in locations all over the country to raise money and awareness for CF.

Nat Gallen, who is Ethosource owner, John Gallen’s, son was diagnosed with CF shortly after birth.  He is an incredible kid who has been inspiring others with CF not only through active participation in Foundation events and functions, but throughout his everyday life.  Just this past summer, he became the youngest person with CF to ever climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.  Despite facing many doubts, he was determined to prove that even with a medical condition, only you can truly decide what you’re capable of achieving if you believe in yourself. John and the rest of the Gallen family have always been very active in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and participate in the Great Strides Walk in Reading every year.

This year, Ethosource really wanted to do something special to support Nat and the incredible cause for which he is constantly fighting. With all this being said, Ethosource Office Furniture is supporting the Great Strides Walk by offering community members the opportunity to come walk for 15 minutes in its Reading and King of Prussia Store & Showrooms in order to earn money and raise awareness for CF.

For those who are looking to help us support this incredible cause, all you have to do is walk, and WE will donate to the Foundation.  With stores in two Great Strides Walk locations, and fun new treadmill desks that allow people to walk at various speeds while they work, it seemed to us like the perfect way for us to get people walking for CF! Each participant can walk 15 minutes on our treadmill desks to earn a $15 donation by EthoSource to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!

Starting today and running until May 16th (strategically placed between the Philadelphia and Reading area Great Strides Walks), participants can schedule any 15-minute time slot between 9am-5pm on our treadmill desk, with the option to bring their laptop in to work while they walk.   Each individual 15 minute time slot is worth $15 donated by EthoSource to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  You walk, we donate!

The purpose of this event is to give people the chance to raise money and awareness for this incredible cause without having to contribute anything more than 15 minutes of their time.   The more participants throughout the three-week span, the higher the donation to the Foundation in support of CF awareness and research! Our event allows anyone to get involved and spread the word simply by taking 15 minutes of his or her day and working from our treadmill desk. Then, we hope you join us for the Reading Great Strides Walk on Saturday May 17th to see how much was raised! 15 minutes is worth $15! Call us to schedule your time slot at our King of Prussia or Reading location today!
