National Team: Berg Family

Dear Friends and Family,

It's that time of year again...to walk for awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.  Please consider joining us on May 19th at 10am (check in 8:30am) for our 9th Great strides walk.  This year, the walk has returned to Moonlight Beach!  

Thank you to our dear friend, Audrey, for her handmade poster at last year's walk.  We loved it so much, we now have a new "motto" for Cruisin' for Clare, "Breathing is Believing."  We will never take breathing for granted.  

Clare's daily routine includes a nebulizer and vest treatment before school, and again after school.  Clare takes 5 pills before meals, along with a multivitamin that makes the size of my prenatal vitamins look tiny.  :)  We are thankful Clare has been healthy and hasn't needed to visit the hospital.  When Clare is not managing her health, she loves to bake, play sports, do math problems (yes, that is correct!), art classes, girl scouts and spending time with friends.  When you are 9, sleepovers are the highlight.  The joy of being young is to fit in all these activities!  For Clare, the joy of being young also means, staying healthy until new medicines come along.  Recently, Vertex Pharmaceuticals had positive results for a future drug for Clare that will work for her genotype.  

Please consider walking with our family, or donating to our national team in support of Cystic Fibrosis.  

Walk with us. Donate. Breathe. So that Clare can breathe a little easier, too.

Love,

Lisa, Jeff, Bobby, Alex and Clare
