Great Strides and NOTDAW

Team Awesome it back! On May 29, 2015, James will be two years post-transplant, and on May 31st, James and I will be celebrating at the Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis Canada! We love being healthy enough to give back! We would also love your support!

It is also National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness (NOTDAW)! We live each and every day with gratitude for James' organ donors! You can help save lives, too! Take a few minutes to register, share your stories, and talk with your family and friends! 

Our dear friend, and lung buddy, Jessica, wrote a really awesome blog post about NOTDAW! It is absolutely worth a read: http://livelaughlungs.blogspot.ca/2015/04/national-organ-tissue-donation.html

How wonderful to breathe easy! 

Here are some photos of Spring from the last few weeks!

A dear friend is breathing easy less than two weeks post-transplant after a very long wait! We were only able to stay for a short visit, but I couldn't believe the pink in her cheeks! Organ donation saves lives!
James is happiest in the company of animals. They seem to love him, too!

The beach also makes for a lot of smiles. We love breathing in the fresh ocean air. We are very spoiled on the West Coast!
I suppose I should make an appearance on occasion, too. I tend to avoid the camera, but I let my sister take a photo on the farm in March (in my fancy shmancy gum boots).
