Short Bio

I’m an outgoing, active, passionate, hard-headed, sometimes outspoken, never quit (there is no try, only do…)  47 year old CF patient. I was diagnosed when I was 3 years old in ’76 when my baby brother (at the time) was diagnosed at less than a year old. In ’77 my sister came long, she was also diagnosed with CF.

My sister and I are in the 10 percentile gene mutation where Trikafta will not treat nor help us.  I say help my sister and I as sadly this past July my brother passed away at 42 from complications that arose from his lung transplant only a couple months prior.  Life is great, but has many strange, trying and often complicated twists at times…

How did you hear about us?

Friend

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had CF?

Since I was born in '72, diagnosed in '76
