This is Sadie.  She’s the granddaughter of my cousin Carol.  Sadie takes ballet lessons, plays the cello and was voted Most Respectful Student last year.  She also has cystic fibrosis.  Like many people with a family member who has a chronic illness, Carol has become involved in raising awareness about CF and raising money for a cure.  Carol is a board member of the Western PA Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and she and Sadie’s many other supporters have formed Sadie’s Soldiers, which stages and participates in fund-raising events.  Check out Sadie’s recent newsletter Great Strides Walk Letter 2017 to learn about upcoming events.
