Shout out for the Cystic Fibrosis walk in Kansas and my big sister Amanda!

So I just got back last night from being in Kansas for the week. My sister Amanda has been hard at work fundraising for the CF foundation. So I decided it would be fun to go out and visit her for awhile before the walk. Well it didn't really happen that way. She decided to go to Florida for the week with her hubby who was presenting a medical paper at some confernce. So my Mom came out with to help tend her kids. So imagine being in a house with 6 kids under the age of 6. AHHHHHHHH, it was crazy. So much for a vacation. Don't get me wrong I love my nephews but it was wild most of the time. So Amanda got home late late Thursday night and we talked until about 1:30am and caught up. She is great. Then Friday we just spent the day relaxing. Mike her husband got home from work really early so we had 4 adults watching the 6 kids. Much better ratio. Saturday morning was the walk. We all had our Elliot's Angels tee shirts on and walked around the Shawnee Mission Park. It was so awesome. Amanda had invited a bunch of her friends to join her team and we had a great turnout. I think we had about 20 people their to support Elliot. It makes me a bit emotional thinking about how wonderful people are in supporting a baby who they have never met and are so enthusiastic about it. It was also really fun to see all of the other families with teams of their own for their kids. The walk was really family oriented, because 90 percent of the people with CF are children. There really aren't many people our age with it now because they have all passed away. But that is changing, and that is why the walk is so important. Elliot is going to have a chance to grow up and be something wonderful, and even hope to live to be a grandpa. So thank you Amanda for everything you have done for my sweet boy. I love you so much and couldn't ask for a better sister. You are amazing and one of my heros!
