Recently, all of us here at the NorthStar Moving\u00ae family have been inspired by one little girl\u2019s smile. A few months ago, we had the great privilege of meeting Claire while working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help make Claire\u2019s wish come true. Although she has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis from birth, Claire\u2019s positive attitude and enthusiastic spirit proves to us she is a <!--more-->fighter. Immediately we knew she had a lot to say and we wanted to make sure the world knew, this is how Snap Greene was born.<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration goes two ways, so now we want to find a way to give back to Claire and inspire you to find a way to help Claire and her family. We are shouting it from the roof tops so that everyone is lucky enough to be encouraged by Claire\u2019s story and will be moved to share it with their friends. Using our modern day roof tops we are spreading the word through our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NorthStarMoving\" target=\"_blank\">NorthStar Moving\u00ae Facebook page<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">NorthStarMoving.com<\/a>, and our blog. Even our very own twitter birdie, Zippy Greene, aka, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/northstarmoving\" target=\"_blank\">@northstarmoving<\/a>, is out there tweeting the word away, and sharing Claire\u2019s inspiring story with the twitterverse.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1506\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/claire-northstar-moving.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1506  \" style=\"margin: 6px;\" title=\"claire-northstar-moving\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/claire-northstar-moving-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Claire Wineland with the NorthStar Moving Tea\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claire Wineland with the NorthStar Moving\u00ae Team who helped transform her into Snap Greene<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How can you make a difference?
