Kristen's journey is absolutely amazing - from being unable to get through her house and requiring a chair in the middle of a room so that she could rest, to running a casual 65 miles (that's almost 105 kilometres!) during the month of May to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis, the condition that Kristen battled since birth.
You can find out more about cystic Fibrosis Australia here - http://www.cysticfibrosis.org.au/ (www.cysticfibrosis.org.au)
Kristen's dream of running in the Walt Disney World Marathon events may be on hold for now, but we'll be sure to keep you posted on her progress, and catch up with her again after her trip. If you're a Disney fan and would like to participate in the marathon, check it out here - http://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/disneyworld-marathon-weekend/ (www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/disneyworld-marathon-weekend/)
