Tara has been playing soccer competitively since she was 5 years old and has always loved it. The fast pace of the game and physical and mental challenges of it have kept her active for years. She knows that it is because of her involvement with soccer that she has been able to avoid getting sick and having lung infections. She loves that soccer allows her to feel like just another one of the kids, she doesn’t have to feel different or worry about her CF when she is playing. She considers herself a role model to other kids with CF, “They should know that they can stand up and do anything, they can be active just like normal kids.” Tara used her recreation grant to cover fees for a competitive soccer league.
