My precious niece, Isabella (Bella), was born with Cystic Fibrosis.
To look at Bella you would never know that she has CF. People tell us that Bella “looks so healthy!” And yes, given her diagnosis, she is healthy and looks like every other child, but that doesn’t take away the disease, it just makes it harder to see. So we fear the invisible. But this fear keeps us fighting for Bella. We carry this fear so she doesn’t have to. This fear leads us to hope. Hope that there IS a cure coming. Hope that one day no one will have to deal with this invisible illness… Hope that we no longer have to fear the invisible.
BELLA’S BRIGADE is walking again this year on Saturday May 11th in beautiful Crescent Bay Santa Monica. I will send out further details in the upcoming weeks. I would LOVE for you to walk with my team and donate. Donations are tax deductible! Together we can add tomorrows for my niece and people like her. Thanks!
