I Get By With A Little Help From My (Team) Mates

When I said I was busy before Christmas, I wasn't lying! I present Exhibit A. An article in Red Magazine (Feb '11 issue) about me and the extensive team - family, friends, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, pharmacists (to name a few) - that helps me deal with cystic fibrosis in one way or another.  Given the opportunity, CF would  kick my backside all over the shop, and I need these people to help me fight back. I shutter to think what my life would be like without their help and support.

It was fun getting to do the shoot, but I have to admit that my face was hurting by the end from smiling for an extended period of time.  Have to say that I am not crazy about how I look in the pic (stupid steroid moon face!), but se la vie. If the article brings awareness to CF, then I am happy.  I am also pleased I got the chance to let my team know just how much I appreciate them. Though I hope they knew that already!

And I am obviously famous now,  as evidenced by the fact that ONE whole person has recognised me. Granted, she was a CF patient and saw me at clinic......but she recognised me nonetheless! I really must  start carrying a pen around so I can sign autographs. Probably should be practicing my pout in case I get papped, too ; )
