Day 27 of #31DaysOfCF: My Sister’s Journey Inspired Me to Become an Advocate
Shannah Weller’s sister, Jana, passed away on January 20, 2019. Jana inspired many, both healthy and those facing their own health challenges, to live like she did. Eight years older than Shannah, she imparted so much wisdom to her and her siblings.
Shannah decided to become an advocate for cystic fibrosis, as a mechanism to not only process her grief, but to spread her sister’s message of serving others. “We (her siblings) continue to carry out her mission to be kind, courageous, and encouraging to others, no matter the circumstances.”
Your sister would be incredibly proud of you Shannah!
Now back to our CF Community: What inspired you to become an advocate? Do you have a mission?
