Tori's Story -- Walking for a Cure!!

This past Saturday, we went to the Nashville Zoo for the Great Strides Walk, which is a fundraiser for CF. So, of course, we were walking for Tori. Tori was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis about 1 1/2 years ago. She does several breathing treatments a day, takes pills every time she eats, and does several other daily treatments. Tori is so good about doing everything, and she has the same or more energy than the average kid. We love her, and we are hoping for a cure soon!

This was Sam's first time at the Nashville Zoo. Unfortunately, he slept through all of the animals except for the elephants. He woke up in time for the swings, which he probably enjoyed more than he would the animals anyway.

My mom's aunt, Patsy Ruth, was in town and came to the walk for a few minutes. Somehow the honoree missed out on this picture, and poor Maddie Leigh was sick at home.

Patsy Ruth finally got to meet Sam. :)

Sweet Tori

Sweet Mauri. She loves Sam and is so good with him. We were sad that Tavon and Monet didn't get to come.

Sam loves his daddy!

Swinging by himself.

He had lots of fun.

We got some good laughs out of him.

We had a great day at the zoo, and most importantly lots of money was raised for a cure for CF!!!
