Today, is my first day on the site. I was diagnosed at 12. I am now a pretty healthy 30. I had 2 other people in my grade that also had CF. I knew them before I was diagnosed. I guess it made it a little easier for me. My friend, Neil just passed away last April, a week before his 30th birthday. He was waiting to find a set of new lungs. I think of him everyday and remind myself how lucky I am. I just turned 30 last month. I felt like that was a milestone for me. My husband threw me a big party. I was surrounded with people who loved me and understood why it was such a big deal for me. I hope we both meet a lot of wonderful survivers!:sun

Pretty cool pic. Ben, is that you? My son races motocross and an occassional cross country race, he has just moved up from mini's to 125's. You trial guys are nuts (so are the Mx guys). Have you raced in any of the new trials arenas?
Here is a pic. of my son:

Hi Sandra...nope, not me. I was at that race in Colorado, but that isnt me (guy i know named Chris). Yeah, mx'ers are crazy that is for sure! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> The thing I like about Trials is that events go for 5 or 6 hours...and that is how long I ride for...no waiting between races and stuff. It's an excellent workout and I defintely think it is a big reason I am as healthy as I am (fev1 last time was 114%). It also pushes me to stay healthy and do all my treatments/take my meds so that i can compete better...and the more i ride the healthier i stay...so it is definitely a win win situation.
Here are a few of the pics of me online...
