The annual Cayman Islands Cystic Fibrosis Ball was once again, a huge success. Every year about 300 guests show their support by attending a themed Ball to raise funds for this inherited
chronic disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system. About 1 in 20 people carry the defective CF gene and its protein products, which cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and lead to life threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. CF patients have a 40% chance of living past the age of 18, but cutting edge research in underway for a cure for CF! Researchers are making strides and are very close to finding a cure for this disease. The money raised at the annual Ball and other fund raising events assists Caymanians with CF who have medical funding needs, raises awareness of the disease to assist with early detection and testing, and is donated towards the research for a cure.
This year, the theme of the annual ball was Bollywood. From the moment the guests entered the tented venue at a private residence, the sights and sounds of Mumbai were evident. Elephant bars and brightly coloured fabrics adorning every table and lining the tents, the lounge areas and henna parlour greeted the guests in the cocktail area, and guests made a tremendous effort to dress the part. We w
ere led into the dining room by a traditional Indian dancer, and the caterers served a wonderful array of Indian cuisine. After a live auction, the dancing started and did not end until after midnight.

maican music to top 40 hits and by 11pm the dance floor was packed. The kids had their own party area complete with a big movie screen and popcorn machine a disco tent, and all you can eat pizza, but by the time the dancing started, they joined our party and showed us a few dance moves of their own. At 4am as the party wound down, we relived the evening as we sat under the stars and sipped champagne; the first quiet moment of '09.
feast of the day before heading off to Church. At noon we 
had Christmas lunch with David's family, and friends. About 40 gathered for the festivities, including the Pereira Clan from Jamaica, and the Mirrlees family from Canada. After a short afternoon nap, it was time to get all dressed up for the Christmas Dinner at the Godfrey house. The setting was formal, but the evening was, as always, a casual one with laughter, entertainment from the kids (Taylor played a violin solo and Bampa accompanied JC, Ryan and Taylor as they sang Bob Marley and a variety of Christmas songs). After the Christmas pudding was served, David treated us to a fabulous fireworks display. The day, as always, was one filled with the love of family, the laughter of children, and the joy of friendship.
