Daily meds

Have you ever wondered when you would take your last breath and what it would be like?  Thousands of adults and children struggle with this fear everyday, because they have an uncureable disease called cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis needs a cure for lots of reasons but the two most important reasons to me are two of my children who have been fighting this battle everyday of their lives, never know when they breathe in a horrible bacteria that may take their last breath! I can go on and on to give you the medical definition of this disease, but that does not do justice to the realities of it all.
