Hello from your Vivian Lee team!
Happy Tuesday everyone! I wanted to take a moment to introduce your Vivian Lee team to you all. We are a small but mighty team of CF moms ourselves, and we couldn't be more excited to host you for the Breathe Easy Retreat in April.
I am Christy (far left) and my daughter is Vivian, who is 11 with CF. I have 2 other kiddos as well (twin brother Graeme and older sister Willa, 13) and we live in beautiful wine country in Oregon. This retreat has been a dream of mine since starting the foundation 9 years ago, and I am so excited to meet all of you!
Sarah (next to me) is mom to CFer Connor, who just turned 10. She also have 4 older children as well. Sarah is our resident yoga instructor and is the kindest soul you will ever meet!
Meghann is our fearless leader,…
Hi, I’m Katrina from Las Vegas, and I’m mom to my recently turned 10-year-old daughter, Tegan — and let me tell you, she is spicy, full of personality, and completely unstoppable! She was diagnosed with CF at age 3 after a scary hospital stay for low oxygen, and though she’s completely pancreas insufficient, she thrives every single day. We feel so blessed!
I’ve been married for 13 years, and we share our home with three lively Boston Terriers who make sure it’s never quiet. Life is full — I work full time, drive Tegan to dance, school play rehearsals, and eat my meals in the car on the go. When I get a minute to breathe, I love working out, walking the dogs, or making sourdough bread and Sunday sourdough pizza from scratch. On Sundays, we also volunteer in the nursery, teaching 2-year-olds about Jesus — a sweet way to pause and give back.
My favorite snacks: coffee, water, Chomps turkey sticks, Built Puff protein bars, and Heavenly Hunks — my ultimate chaos-fuel kit.
This is my second retreat, and I’m so excited to be back! It’s my chance to recharge, reconnect with my CF mamas, make new friendships, and show up even stronger for my spicy little girl and my family.
