A student at the University of New Orleans, LeJeune plans to work with disabled children after receiving her degree in adaptive physical education. Roberts is an avid supporter of his fianc and shares her goals. This year she ran the 10K walk with Roberts, her physician Bob Beckerman, family and friends. She is determined more than ever, to press on for a healthy lifestyle and a cure for CF after losing her sister, Yvette, to CF in January of 1999. Her positive outlook and determination should serve as a lesson for us all.
Some people spend their lives searching for the greater meaning and for what is truly important.
Such revelations come in various forms. For Ken Subin diagnosed at birth with CF his revelation came through CF a disease that claimed the life of one of his siblings. Subin s older brother, Scott, lost his battle with CF at the age of 12. While the death of a brother causes grief and heartache, for Subin just six at the time it also brought him face to face with his own mortality. After witnessing the devastating effects of CF first-hand, I was determined to beat the odds.
