Hi Friends!
Wow, how time moves by quickly!  My last blog was Grayson saying "Hohoho, Merry Christmas" now we are at "Happy Valentines Day."

Grayson's health right now is very good, especially with all of the flu and stomach bugs going around!  For this we are so very thankful.  He had his mid-term testing done and he is average to above average on most areas of learning and he has adapted well to his visit to the nurse twice daily for his supplements and enzymes.

My daughter, Megan, and I attended a meeting 2 weeks ago regarding the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis walk on May the 18th.  Of course this is our first year to be a part of this wonderful event.  Did you know that CF affects the lungs and digestive systems of approximately  30,000 children and adults in the USA?  The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a nonprofit donor-supported organization, is to assure the development of the means to cure and control CF and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease.  The Great Strides Charlotte walk is the largest fundraising even the CF Foundation holds in the Charlotte area and the largest Great Strides even in the country.  It attracts more than 1,000 participants each year.  This year, it is being held in Freedom Park and is a 5K event (3.1 miles).  We have formed a team called Team Grayson.

Would you consider participating in this event with me?  It's quite easy~go to:
www.cff.org/Great_Strides/graysonbrooks to either sign up to walk or donate for my walk.  There is no donation too small, each $1 counts.  Together, you and I,  are going to change CF from being an abbreviation for Cystic Fibrosis to "CURE FOUND."  Know that 90% of what you give is used for research for CF and is tax deductable.  If you have any question, please feel free to send me a note.

Thanks again for your constant thoughts and prayers for Grayson and our family.  We treasure those more than words could ever say.
