CF awareness week activities

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just left 's school. I did a

story about CF and a " show and tell " type of thing with the vest. I am hoping

that this will help raise awareness, if not with the kids themselves (I only

spoke to the pre-k class that is in and the 2 first grades) At least the

teachers now know a bit more than they did before I walked into the room. The

one first grade class has a child who's mom has CF and she is not doing too

well, so he was sent to another room (I think they gave him something special to

do) Though I think that what I said probably wouldn't have upset him at all, we

didn't want him to feel uncomfortable with it.

Also, I finally heard something about CF awareness week the other day. I had

contacted a few radio and TV stations and my favorite radio station came through

for us and mentioned CF awareness week. I gave out the awareness week brochures

that I got from the NCFAC (thanks Lenora!) I put them in the health food store

and in the local drug stores. Ok that is all my news for now!
