Cure for Caroline

Hi, my name is Caroline Rivers and I love Tennis. I also enjoy sketching and piano. All my life I have been living with Cystic Fibrosis or as we call it, shorter, CF or 65 Roses. Still, I strive to stay alive. I love playing Tennis almost every day in the week. My sketching abilities are able to let me make my very own drawing business. And I am looking forward to another Piano Recital in May. I also will be swimming on my neighborhood team. I love to be active outside mostly playing tag with my friends or Tennis matches on Saturdays. Either is fine to me. I love to try new things anytime. I just have to like it.

CF is in 30,000 human bodies around the United States. Even though it might not sound that big I can’t even be around other CF patients. This is because you can share germs to each other when near enough. To make me stay alive I must do meds and treatments. The type of medicine I take is called Kalydeco. It helps my body to make salt. I need salt because I need to get rid of mucus which is made in my body, the main reason what CF is. Treatment is a type of vest I wear to make me shake up and down. This makes the Mucus break and come out of my body. While I do treatment, I watch my iPad or do my homework. The treatment usually lasts 45 min or longer, causing time circumstances troubled. Specially in the morning before school. During my treatment I have 2 other meds I have to do with breathing. One has salt water. The other has another medicine. 

Please come walk with me Saturday 5/21 to help me breathe. It will be a lot of fun!

Love,

Caroline :0)
