Help me PRINCETON!

Princeton Walk:

It's official, My hometown will be hosting it's first GreatStrides walk ( Walk for Cystic Fibrosis)!!! I've done 6 walks: 3 in Peoria, IL, 2 in Champaign, IL, and 1 in Hollowayville, IL in the past couple years.

However on
 JUNE 28, 2014!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited to have Princeton have a Walk! My hometown has always been supportive and helped encourage me. My teachers understood when I missed classes, my friends understood when I did my nebulizers while hanging out,, and my family has always been there for me!

What everyone needs to know about the walk:

THIS IS A TRIAL WALK. If we have a good enough turn out at the Walk, it will become a permanent walk site! Which I would love very VERY MUCH!! Please help me make this a reality!

Since this is the FIRST WALK! Before it can become a Walk Site with its own online registration and fundraising pages, we have show them we can bring enough people to the walk!

The Foundation Said:  For this year's Walk will register under TEAM PRINCETON at the Tuscola, IL Walk Site. City of Princeton's Walk Site! Click Here!  (make sure to "join a team"- search for Princeton and scroll down to join the team) Facebook, call or email me if you have questions!

 This allows me to keep tab on the number of people signed up, while allowing everyone who signs up to have an online fundraising website. Registering early, helps me to see about how many people are attending. (helps with food, T-Shirts Counts, etc). So PLEASE consider registering early.  You do not need to walk at the Tuscola Site, just Princetons.

We are justing using their site to sign up for online purposes!

So don't forget sign up UNDER TEAM PRINCETON at the TUSCOLA walk. If you need help, just ask. I can sign you up and help you with it!

Here is a picture of my Team Last year! Thank you to everyone who has ever walked with me and I hope to see you all next year in PRINCETON!

SIGN UP OR DONATE BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK: City of Princeton Walk Teams Registration Page! (make sure to "join a team"- TEAM PRINCETON)




Let's make this walk site a permanent location and have an amazing turn out.Help me spread word. :-)

YAY- HAPPY REGISTERING... I hope.... :-)

Video Blog: Life in the hospital (as a child)

The daily life in the hospital! Most people cringe at the idea of a hospital. However, when I was little I never minded going into the hospital. I usually would have at least one other friend with Cystic Fibrosis to hang out with there (before we knew about the "CF Bugs"). I didn't love being sick, but I loved my CF friends that I would hang out with. Also the hospital, nurses, and my parent's tried to make it a "normal" environment. I got up and put on cute clothes, "walked to school", flirted with a couple CF boys, did homework, came "home" (back to my room), my friends would ask my parent if I could go play with them. We'd hang out in the play room or go on a walk with one of my parents! My dad loved taking me on walks and I LOVED going on our walks! Here is a video blog of the route we took and bit of information on what is was like growing up (for a chunks at a time) in the hospital! (it is posted via youtube, let is dow...

CF isn't all tears and saddness. Get a Full Picture.

  CF and Laughing Cystic Fibrosis can bring sad times and times of tears (like losing a close friend with CF, etc) BUT, it can bring so much joy and love. I've noticed most people love to talk about the people they meet while traveling. This is usually, because they have learned something from the person. Or the person is considered unique to them. I can do the same thanks to my Cystic Fibrosis. I may not have traveled much in my life thus far, but I have learned mountains of lessons from my CF. [Picture right:  Me ready for surgery in 2nd grade!] Forgive my shoutouts (but I must recognize a few amazing people) I have met some of the most amazing doctors: Chatrath, Dr. B Nurses: Sara & Marie (from Clinic), Lizzard, Melody (best IV stick ever), Deb, and Kris (you know a nurse is amazing if you love her after putting tubes down your nose!) Respitory Therapists: Jeannette, Lanell, and Don (you da Man) And Cookie Marrow (Musical Therapist- She would sing to me a...
