CF MiniCon



I am really excited about the next #CFminicon on Aug 15th and I am so honored to be co chairing it with my friend Laima from LungStoryShort 

Getting a lung transplant can require a lot of preparation and planning. Whether you’re preparing, or have already had one, or just want to learn more about lung transplants this is the minicon for you.

For me living life in ‘limbo land’ and no longer being able to do the things I used to do has been quite an adjustment. As I adjust to my ‘new normals’ with my CF lungs I know a double lung transplant is in my future and I want to learn as much as I possibly can. Although transplant can be pretty daunting, I look forward to the day when my 'new normals' will be adding all the things back into my life that I miss with another pair of lungs that will be perfect for me when the time is right.

I love hearing stories of others and meeting people who are living life how it was intended to be lived with their new perfect lungs. Their stories give me hope and strength for when the time is right for me to embark on the transplant journey. Registration is live so go sign up now. 


See you soon!! Breathe out Love! Xo❤️

Nobody Fights Alone



There are approximately 70,000 children and young adults like myself world wide that have CF. We fight day in and day out to stay as healthy as possible, our fight makes us strong!

“Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove you showed up for it."

I believe life is what you make it. So make sure you keep showing up for it time and time again. Don’t give up, get back up and keep trying! Life can be frustrating whether you have CF or not, we all have struggles. So show up, collect your scars and continue to give hope to others. Show them that if you can do it so can they, you just never know who will be watching. We are all fighters in our own way. Some of us just have to fight a lil bit harder. One thing I know for certain is we are all in this fight together...Nobody fights alone! Keep fighting! Breathe out Love! Xo❤️
