“Playing the Cards Life has Dealt”
I was the poster child for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for 1985. While poster child for the CFF (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation), I met Frank Deford (father of Alex Deford whom a movie was made about her life with CF), local celebrities and professional athletes. I was interviewed by the local paper a few times, attended CFF fundraisers and much more. There is a CF Fundraiser Ball every year and when I while poster child I was able to attend. There I met many famous people and got a lot of attention. It was a way to let people see what CF looks like in real life and not just the foundation that people were giving to. The poster child/children showed the faces of CF and educated and spread awareness about CF.
