Triathlon

Triathlons don't have much to do with Cystic Fibrosis, but we think it's pretty neat that a little girl with this disease can do things like this! Kendell competed in her 2nd triathlon this last week and did a great job! Many patients with CF are on oxygen and have decreased lung function, so that even a set of stairs would have them short of breath.
We are so proud of her and the fact that she doesn't let this disease get her down. Nobody there watching (with the exception of her family) knew she has this disease and we like it that way! She ended up taking 3rd place overall in the female category and I'm still blown away at the blessing it is to have her be as healthy as she is that she can even do something like this! We are soooo grateful!
Kendell's little brother did the triathlon also, so he ended up in all the pictures. I have none of her by herself.  photo IMG_9495_zpsbf7fff5f.jpg  photo IMG_9523_zps1bfda20a.jpg
