Awareness Video

Great Strides...

I wanted to share an awesome video from a blog that I follow called Team Asher. This man and his wife are in the same fight for his son's life just as Derek and I are for Mason's. He does a video each year to help fund-raise for their Great Strides walk. They just held a silent auction that raised almost $13,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!!! The video has some clips that show how his son is a normal kid living life, but some clips that show you what happens behind the curtain of life that all people with CF have to do on a daily basis to survive. It makes me think about Mason and in how a few short months he will join those ranks of owning a vest that shakes the crap out of him (that cost $18,000...no joke there) and breathing in medicine twice a day to help thin the mucus in his lungs so he can breathe deeply.

We will be walking on May 15th in the Great Strides Walk to help raise money for research that will hopefully find a cure in Mason's lifetime! Please feel free to donate at: http://www.cff.org/great_strides/saraumnus
