"Run for the Border" 5k...August 23, 2014 TOMORROW!!

Run for the Border is a 5K to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis while raising funds to support research for this disease.

I am doing better now that I have been diagnosed and I hope that never changes! My doctors have told me that the more active I am, the healthier I will stay. Playing lacrosse and working out at my speed school has been helping me to be bigger, faster, stronger, while making me feel more confident about myself. Sometimes..."
