Rachel and her mom

In Rachel's own words:

"There are no words that can describe how awesome my mom is. Everyone says their mom is the greatest, but really my mom is! She has always been an inspiration to me and I take great pride when someone says, 'You are just like you're mom!' The strength and courage she shows battling through the daily struggles of being the mother of a son with Cystic Fibrosis is absolutely astounding. She is the funniest, prettiest and smartest lady I know. Honestly I could go on for days talking about how incredible she is. I can only hope to be half as amazing as her someday.

"I am so proud to call her my mom and of course my very best friend!"
