Welcome!!

Hello... My name is Rachel Newell and I am the proud mom of twin girls Faith and Kaylee. My one daughter Faith was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was just over a month old. June 27, 2012 is a day my husband and I will never forgot. We had no idea we were carriers let alone what Cystic Fibrosis was or even meant for our daughter. Now the shock has worn off and we spend our time learning as much as we can and fighting to find a cure. Since starting at the CF Clinic at the Alberta Children's Hospital we have felt blessed to be surrounded by an amazing team of doctors, nurses, etc. My husband and I decided to start this blog as a support group for one another. We may not have all the answers, but what we do know is the more support you have the better and what better way for support than to surround yourself with others in a similar situation. It is our hope people will use this blog to ask questions, share experiences and challenges, tips you have found helpful, information and articles you have found, fundraisers, and anything that might be on your mind. Together we will find a cure and beat Cystic Fibrosis!!
