A day filled with butterflies, community, and so m A day filled with butterflies, community, and so much love, that’s what Chalk Walk is all about 💜🦋

Our 7th Annual Chalk Walk was one to remember! We saw familiar faces and new families who joined us for the first time. It was incredible to see everyone come together to celebrate Lea’s legacy and raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

Over 520 butterflies filled the pavement at Hunt Valley Towne Centre, each one a beautiful reminder of the love, hope, and support that continues to surround this community.

To everyone who helped make this day possible, thank you for being part of something so special. We couldn’t do it without you! Our sponsors, Hunt Valley Towne Centre, our volunteers… each and every one of you truly help us make a difference.

Now, let’s relive a little of the magic from this year’s Chalk Walk 🎥💜
Now that we’ve had a chance to process the weekend Now that we’ve had a chance to process the weekend, we are so incredibly grateful for the absolute success that was our 7th Annual Chalk Walk! 💜🦋

We met so many new families and spread so much more awareness of LMFF and the families we support. And together, we drew over 520 butterflies across Hunt Valley Towne Centre in honor of Lea and those living with Cystic Fibrosis and CF-related illnesses!

It was also so special to have our 5th Women in Science Scholarship winner, Maggie, volunteering with us at the event. Seeing the next generation show up for this community was incredible 💫

To everyone who drew, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and cheered us on, whether in person or from afar: thank you. You helped us fill the pavement with hope, and you’re the reason Lea’s legacy keeps living on.

Stay tuned, because our official Chalk Walk reel is coming soon! 🎥 But for now, swipe through to see some of our favorite memories from the day 💜🦋
