CF Awareness week

[Guest guest]

I first want to say that this week has been very enlightening for me. Where I

work (in a college environment) I passed out over 60 ribbons, and I have only

done it to friends and professors that helped me raise money in Great Strides

walks in the past and I have had a tremendous response. I only gave 2 ribbons

to students that work for me and they have sent at least 10 students to me with

information that they have siblings/cousins/or some form a relative that has CF.

We are tabling in the student center tomorrow and they are helping me. I think

that this is great.

I have had one complaint for the information letter that I have been passing out

with my pins. I didn't put what I call " the death factor " in my information.

I feel with being 3 years old, I don't want to dwell on that. Am I

being stupid? That was what I was called, well not in that word, really naive

and denying the truth was the way she put it to me. In my information I state

website addresses where they can go and find that information out for them

selves. I noticed the CFF wants us to put that in also. Isn't this playing the

" pity me " card? Please don't flame, I know that this can be a sticky subject

for some.

Sorry for this being real long

Thanks and everyone have a great rest of the week.
