Breathing Deeply: My Life With Cystic Fibrosis

This page is my online journal of my victories and challenges that are part of the day to day life of an active, thriving adult with CF. It is also a place where I will post articles, information and links of particular interest on the topics of CF, air quality and related health news. I believe firmly that God is my constant source of strength and hope; I have come this far by faith.
