My best friend has Cystic Fibrosis. She's been living with the lung disease for her entire life, and will eventually need a lung transplant. She likely won't live for a normal human lifespan, and she practically lives in the hospital.
Cystic Fibrosis is essentially a giant buildup of mucus in the lungs caused by a defective gene. It restricts the airways and is potentially fatal.
I wanted to post this to raise awareness for CF, and this is dedicated to all the people in the world who have this disease. I wanted to post this to thank my mother for realizing that my friend's CF was not asthma, as the doctors originally thought. I wanted to post this to give her hope.
Kayla, you're my best friend. Even though you now live across the country, we talk almost every day, and you constantly support me through my struggles, expecting nothing from me. Well, this is my way of paying you back for the past seven years.
