I'm a 21 year old man with living with cf and watching this video brought tears to my eyes. thank you Susan for sharing your story and giving us hope and the strength to overcome our disease. I hope everyone with cf lives a long, healthy, prosperous life and cherish it with the people you love the most. If it weren't for my friends and family I'd be lost and alone in this world.

what a great story! My friend has cf and she recently had a double lung transplant at age 40, here in NZ. She waited about 7 mths on the list. I think she was top of the list the whole time! She is slowly recovering and now is being treated for bowel cancer - still, she's a strong lady with a really supportive family and will make it I am sure. My 10 yo son has cf too, so this is likely to be in his future.

I am a 34 year old man and I too have CF. I want to thank you Susan for allowing the public to see you at your best and worst. It is helpful to me because I am one of those rare dying people that have zero belief in God. I put my faith in science and people. You make the faith in both a little stronger. You rock! Thank you.
