Personal Image In lieu of flowers, Brandi's family has requested that donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in her memory. Brandi would have wanted this as she was passionate about raising money for CF research and making the lives of other CF patients better.

Please leave a message for her family when you donate, because they will be viewing this website and it will stay archived and live on in memory of Brandi.

Also, Brandi's family has requested that as many people as possible come to the actual Great Strides event on May 19th. Brandi was the team leader of the UAB Adult CF Great Strides Team. We are continuing that team in her memory as well as for other adult CFers and their friends and family who have participated in the past. There will be free food and we'll all be getting together to remember Brandi and her legacy. She would have been there that day, so we all should gather together and she'll be looking down on us from Heaven! If you are interested in participating in the Birmingham Great Strides Walk on May 19th in Hoover, Alabama, please send me (Katey) an email: bushkaru2@aol.com and I will get you more details and registered on Brandi's team page!

Please check back later as Katey Ballard and I will be posting our thoughts on Brandi's life and what a wonderful woman she was!

With love, ~Katey Ballard and Cade Hovater
