For me, I never thought I’d see my 20s. Because growing up, I was a very unhealthy overweight kid and teenager growing up. I had heard of people not making it to their young adult lives because of being plagued by numerous health issues, being overweight one of them.

    Cystic fibrosis is one of the diseases that let’s me still have hope in medicine’s trajectory. I had a friend when I was 12 with it, and when there were some odd statements and my mother explained he wouldn’t likely live past (I can’t remember what they told me, maybe 20s), I took it hard. Now, that new wonder drug for it blows me away.

    Super happy that you’re around.
