Article in the Detroit Free Press

I completely forgot to mention to you all, There is an article about CF and my husbands attempt to swim across Lake St. Clair...

Please read it and tell me what you think!


Scroll down to the life section and you'll see it! Thanks!

Detroit Free press (article) "Fast foot forward"

The article is up and I'm not happy at all! OMG I can't believe what this lady printed!!! Ahhhhhh!!! I am sooooo glad that I'm not a celebrity, can you imagine waking up and reading **ap about yourself and it's half truths and innuendos?

What I am so upset about: "an incurable disease that tends to kill quickly." Sh** why would she print that? How many people with cystic fibrosis are going to read this article. It is not true, yes it's not curable but it does not kill quickly and why would she say kill? This is my child she's talking about.

I don't know what I'm going to do. Any suggestions?

Plus the pictures of me are horrendous.

Alright, I just talked with my Mom and her opinion-it's not that bad, and the fact being it does kill that is the fact...maybe people will stop and take notice of the disease.

I tend to react quickly when it has anything to do with my kids. So, I will take a deep breath and let it go. I need some coffee. Bye for now.


Article on Mackinaw Bridge Run

Today's Run

Today was a lot of fun. Got the kids off to school and went on my run. Although it was a bit different this time! I met Mandy, a photographer for the Detroit Free Press. She was great--it was heady having someone drive in front of you, just to stop in the middle of the road and take your picture. All the while I'm pretending I don't see her and just 'on my run'.

I'm still trying to figure out why they're doing a story on me...

I was cracking up though while I was running, trying to look cool and everything. She followed me for quite a ways. I naturally wanted to stop a couple of times but my ego got in the way, and I kept on running. I had a killer workout today!
