Eight year old Souad Dairy who has CF and attends the school was in Lebanon on the big day but she asked Principal, Kim Naylor, to read a message on her behalf.
Hi, my name is Sue Dairy from Mount Lewis infant school. I am seven years old. I was born with Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a genetic illness. I can live a normal life, but every time I eat I have to take enzyme tablets, because my body can’t absorb nutrients from the food I eat. From when I was a baby until now I have to have physiotherapy every day, to help get rid of the sticky mucus in my lungs.
I want to thank my Special School for raising funds for CF NSW, because all the money is used in helping children like me in trying to find a cure. I want to thank the P & C staff one by one, the Principal and the teachers for helping me especially Mrs. Sargeant who would give me my medicine every recess and lunch. I won’t forget you. And also I want to thank the foundation for their work and care. God bless you all. How can I forget my friends and my lovely teacher Miss Critchley. Love you and all the best.
Our thanks to Souad and her family and to all the staff and pupils at Mount Lewis Infant School.
Hi My name is Rebekah Davison. I am nine, and I have CF. We all know that we need to do good exercise to keep our lungs healthy. My favourite exercise is Irish dancing. I started doing Irish dancing when I was 5, at the Carroll School of Irish Dance. I think it is great fun. We do lots of skipping and jumping, and it makes me work really hard.
