We'd like to introduce you to our sweet friend Emily. She is 11 years old and we have been a part of each other's lives since before she was born. Her mom Lori and I are dear friends. Her brother Will and Michael were inseparable the first 5 years of life...literally they were Batman and Superman. So we were delighted to find out about 12 years ago that Lori and I were both expecting again, just a few months apart from each other. Trevor was born in April, followed up by Emily in July. That first year Trev and Emily spent lots of stroller time together, hanging out at the boys soccer games, church functions, and just fun playdates. It was the start of another beautiful friendship :)

When Emily and Trevor were 1, the Andres family moved to Utah. Through the years, we have remained close friends and seen each other several times. Even though they have grown up miles apart, Michael, Will, Emily & Trevor all remain good friends and we love to see each other every chance we can.

Emily had some serious health challenges that first year of life, and after several rounds of testing, it was discovered that she has cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Right now there is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but you can help us make a difference. In just a few weeks, Emily and her family are coming back to Houston to participate in a Great Strides walk where we will all walk together on Ms. Em's team to earn money and take steps to cure cystic fibrosis.
If you would like to help us raise money to blow away Cystic Fibrosis and help our amazing friend Emily, please consider donating to this great cause. Trevor's account is http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/TrevorMangum or mine is http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/JeanMangum. Any donation helps. Thank You!!

I remember when she was diagnosed! That was hard -- but that's an awfully adorable picture of her holding baby Hayley, wow. :)
