We are a family of blue. Everyone I’ve met that is a CRC champion has enriched my life. I couldn’t get through this without them all. I have dedicated the rest of my life to serve the CRC community because I know how important we are to each other. No matter if it’s a newbie or someone who’s been affected by CRC for years, we all need each other.

Age at Diagnosis: 45

I was 45 years old, with a 4 year old as my youngest as well as 10 other older kids. I’m a mom of 11! After I got the call, I freaked out. I was scared and crying, hysterically running through the house to find my husband. I thought my life was over and I felt so incredibly guilty for having children. Why did I put myself in this situation? I should have thought about this. My poor babies might have no mother. It was devastating.
