Twelve-year-old Kira Taylor has the time to play with her mom, sister and two dogs.

That's a remarkable thing considering she was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a condition that affects the lungs, digestive system and sinuses.

Kira's schedule would exhaust most healthy people.

Her work with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the community has earned her Tampa's "Every Child Makes a Difference" award.

President Barack Obama and Florida Governor Rick Scott have even sent her pictures and letters thanking her for her efforts.

Kira is also a straight A student and a Girl Scout.

Her other favorite groups include Cat Crusaders and Toys for Tots.

Kira will also become involved in medical tests that may, one day, lead to a cure of the disease.

She says that would be a dream come true, something that makes her smile.

"It makes me feel happy because I've wanted a cure for Cystic Fibrosis ever since I knew that I had it," she said.
