...Together we can beat CF.

Our family has been fighting cystic fibrosis (CF) for four years now. Thankfully, we have only had to go head to head with this disease a few times since Paige's diagnosis.

Our most recent battle took place one week after our WITH ONE BREATH event. Fevers and chills, brought on by a viral pneumonia, ravaged Paige's little body for 5 days despite the 4 additional medications we pumped into her body. We watched helplessly as this disease made its mark, and during the two stressful weeks we tended to Paige, all we felt was rage. We hated watching her pain and suffering. We hated the doctors for not being able to "fix" our baby. We hated wondering if this pneumonia would be the beginning of the end. We hated our inability to be strong and place our trust in God.

And there, in the midst of all this anger, we remembered the hundreds of people that came to our WITH ONE BREATH event.

We remembered the businesses that sponsored our event, and the individuals and businesses that donated items for our silent auction.

We remembered the committee members and volunteers that made the event possible. We remembered the laughter at the blackjack tables, and the bidding wars in the silent auction room.

We remembered being silly on the dance floor, and singing along to all of our favorite songs as played by our favorite musicians.

We remembered the $37,000 the event raised this year for CF research!

And as these memories washed over us; what happened was a miracle: our hearts softened, our hope was restored, and we made it through another crisis...thanks to you!!
