Cystic Fibrosis Emcee: VC2

Citizen Aim is a 27 year old emcee in Yuma, Arizona who might literally rap his last breath. That's because he's expected to die from Cystic Fibrosis by age 35. Diagnosed with the fatal chronic illness as an infant, Citizen Aim is amongst the 70,000 people worldwide living with this death sentence sometimes referred to as '65 Roses. In this pod, by vc2 producer Carlos Aguilar, Citizen Aim talks about his disease, his treatment, and how his recovery themed songs are an inspiration others suffering from the disease.

Cystic fibrosis is absolutely no joke. A friend of mines best friend passed away from the disease and it tore her and his family apart. It's a horrible disease that needs to be cured

@metalcranium07 Same. My boyfriend has CF and whenever he coughs people stare or ask if he has asthma, but he is a big mouth and just goes NO I JUST HAVE CF!

@michaiah14 Hello Stylez. I'd like to talk to you and anybody who has CF about a movement that I'm starting to raise funds around the country for people suffering with CF. My 2 year old boy has it and I've started Orion's Army on facebook in hopes that we can spread awareness and gather support from people outside the cf community. If you are interested, and I hope you are, contact me asap and we'll talk. Thank you very much for your time. Jah Bless!
