Last Saturday, we participated in the Great Strides Walk of Ogden as we do every year. The walk is to help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. I have two adorable nephews, Brayden and Noah, who were born with CF. It is a devastating disease where the body produces thick mucus clogging one's airways leading to lung infections. It also affects the pancreas and inhibits the body from absorbing foods. The expected life span is only 37 years old. I am so glad my nephews have been relatively healthy thus far and we pray continually for a cure. Here are some pics of this year's walk. They always have fun games for the kids, prizes to win, and yummy food to eat.
Wow, doesn't my hubby have great form? My parents also came out for the event.
Ogden Clinic came and tested our blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. I am holding some device that tested my body fat.

That's cool that you guys go and do that every year.. It looks like you guys had a good time.
I didn't know you had nephews with CF. That's really cool you go do the walk every year. I hope they find a cure soon too!
