Today's CF Champion spotlight is Team Black and Tan's Taylor and Macey Monturo:
Hi,
my name is Taylor and my sister is Macey and we have Cystic Fibrosis.
Macey is 9 and I'm 12 years old. Macey does horseback riding and I play
hockey. I found interest in hockey by watching the Blue Jackets. R.J.
Umberger raises money for CF and that is who inspired me to play. I
started out playing for the Sting house team for 2 years and then moved
to u14 Blue Jackets girls travel team. I just recently tried out for u16
team and I don't plan on stopping there. My goal is to play on the Ohio
State women's hockey team. Ever since I started hockey the doctors
say I've been healthier than ever! It is great exercise for my lungs.
Macey
has been taking riding lessons for 3 years. She rides English style
and is starting to compete in shows. She wants to own her own stable
when she grows up. Macey has been in the hospital several times from
lung infections. She has missed a ton of school and works really hard
to catch up. She loves anything horse related and reads anything about
horses.
Thank
you for participating in the CF hockey classics, we really appreciate
your support. The money that you help raise funds the research so that
the scientists will be one step closer to finding a cure and make my
sister and I able to do what we love better!
From,
Taylor and Macey
