Go Ayla's Army!

While we were in Destin we participated in Great Strides.  It is a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and my niece Ayla has Cystic Fibrosis.  We all had on our Ayla's Army t-shirts and most of our family was there.  It was really great to get to be there and be a part of it.
 I am sooooo proud of my sister.  She definitely out-did herself and raised a whopping $9,500!!!  Her goal was $5,000 so she did an amazing job.

Go Team AYLA!

I am pretty much the proudest sister ever. I have been bugging--I mean encouraging my sister to start a blog FOREVER! Aside from being a fabulous writer....she has a story. Her and her husband have been through more in the last few years than most people go through in a lifetime.
They have a beautiful little girl Ayla who has cystic fibrosis. For a long time...Krista chose to deal with everything privately but now she is ready to share. She has educated herself on anything and everything having to do with CF. It is a long story....and you can read all about it on her blog--her breathing room.

Anyways....the point of this post, aside from bragging on my sister is to drum up support for
TEAM AYLA! Krista has joined with Great Strides to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis research.

If you live in the Destin area you can join us April 24th for a Run/Walk for CF. If not...you can donate money to Team Ayla by clicking here:
