On August 19, 2005, Randy Snider lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis at the young age of 15. He was a brave soul. He battled everyday just to live and through the pain, he made us all smile. He gave us all a purpose. We love and miss him very much.
A website was created in his memory to celebrate his life and bring awareness to CF. The theme is based on his most favorite video game, Halo. He was a huge fan and played all the time. It offered an escape from daily struggles of CF. As it turns out, the word "halo" is actually Greek/Latin for "salt". Salt of course plays a key role in cystic fibrosis. As loosely depicted on website, CF genes creates a defective protein that prevents the proper flow of salt and fluid in and out of cells. So in essence, CF is sort of a war on salt or "Halo" war. You may also hear somber music called, "Remembrance" and it is from the game, Halo.
Randy bravely battled Cystic Fibrosis the same way he battled Halo. He was the "Master Chief" of the game and won all the battles but he eventually lost his battle with CF...and there was no replay. So in his honor, we give great tribute to a fine young man who loved life and loved the game.
Please take a moment on this special day to remember Randy. Rest well angel. We love you and miss you. We will continue fighting this battle in your honor and the honor all CF angels.
