Day 17 of #31DaysOfCF: The CF Community Is a Vital Part of My Well-being
Heather McCoy’s was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 7 weeks old on June 3, 1992. Growing up, she wanted to meet someone she could relate to. When she began going through her transplant phase, age 20, Heather started meeting more CF friends online, and finally felt surrounded by people who truly understood her. That is how Heather met some of her greatest friends.
“Having access to the CF community is crucial to my fight, because it helps me feel less alone.”
Heather, you are a valued member of this community, thanks so much for sharing your story so generously.
Now back to our CF Community: Have you been able to get in touch with the CF community? Has it helped you?
