We highlight unique stories as well as share relevant topics and news! Remember, there is no limit to what ever you want to do in life! Redefining what it means to live with Cystic Fibrosis and having people realize that this illness does not define who we are. Pushing the limits to what is possible and how we all can approach the challenges in our lives when dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic F
ibrosis is an inherited disease that affects organs in the body such as the lungs, liver, intestine and pancreas. It affects the body by causing one to have trouble breathing because of the building of thick, sticky mucus, and a weak immune system. The affecting of these organs causes damages to the respiratory, reproductive, and digestive systems. This chronic lung disease has affected many young and older lives. With the improvement of research and treatments, many Cystic Fibrosis patients now have the hope to living a longer and healthy lifestyle. It is said by most doctors and others that we ,the CF patients, have a shorter life expectancy than most but I believe it is up to us to determine that. Although we may not have full control of what will happen to us physically, we do have the capability to remain strong and move forward to accomplish our goals.
