"I try to reassure everyone who has been affected by this disease that CF isn't the end of the world if you don't want it to be."
The experience of living with cystic fibrosis is markedly different today than it was decades ago. Thanks to the discovery of the CF gene, the availability of effective drug therapies and advances in technology, the 30,000 Americans who deal with the disease day in and day out are living longer and fuller lives. In a word, they are thriving.

Podcast 107: Getting Involved in the CF Community

Jerry Cahill has been an inspiration to the cystic fibrosis community for many years. His message of living, breathing, and succeeding has touched the lives of many people living with CF.

Recently, we tagged along with Jerry on the way to Milwaukee, where he spoke to packed house at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Jerry's message was clear: Everyone with CF should be exercising and getting involved in the CF community. Jerry talks about his lifelong struggle with CF and his no-nonsense approach to managing CF on a daily basis.

This “LIVING. BREATHING. SUCCEEDING.” Podcast/Vodcast is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from Genentech to the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
