Dear Wendy’s Warriors,
Yes, that is how I’m addressing each of you. We are all warriors for staying strong during this pandemic. I have no doubt my sister, a warrior herself, would address you any differently as she would be proud of everyone for showing courage and strength during this unimaginable time.
This year has not been ideal for many of us as we have had to wage our own private and/or public battles. This pandemic has taught me so many things. It has taught me about prioritizing what is most important and speaking out and looking out for those who need support. It has taught me that sometimes we have to accept losses and move forward. Finally, it has taught me about staying the course even when obstacles are intended to prevent that from happening.
Today would have been the 21st annual Wish for Wendy. Unfortunately because of the pandemic, Wish for Wendy is officially being postponed this year but just know that does not mean I do not intend to fundraise at some point before the calendar year is over. Having this event cancelled for the first time in 20 years feels like a major loss to me and my family but we know that postponing it this year is actually a “win” for our community as it will help insure that everyone around us will continue to courageously conquer what is going on around them. Whether you are in the cystic fibrosis community or not, please take this time to prioritize your health and your family’s health and whatever else is most important to you.
I wish all of you that are dealing with crises of some sort during this pandemic some sense of peace. See you in 2021.
Live your dreams and love your life.
Sincerely,
Andy, Wendy’s Loving Brother and proud member of Wendy’s Warriors
Just let us know when you begin your fundraising so we can participate. Disappointed that we will not have the opportunity to fully participate but we will do what we can.
Wendy’s warriors I really like that. I had a sister named Autumn she passed away from Czf at 11mths old and 2 liver transplants. The CF affected her tummy more that lungs. I was 2 when we found out I had CF after she passed. I never got to know her. But I know she is with me through all this as well. She is my brightest star in the sky! Thanks andy and I know I’m on a different blog but Happy 47th Birthday 2020! You are a CF warrior hero to me!
