"I try to reassure everyone who has been affected by this disease that CF isn't the end of the world if you don't want it to be."
The experience of living with cystic fibrosis is markedly different today than it was decades ago. Thanks to the discovery of the CF gene, the availability of effective drug therapies and advances in technology, the 30,000 Americans who deal with the disease day in and day out are living longer and fuller lives. In a word, they are thriving.

Jerry Cahill, Life after Transplant

For 55 years, Jerry Cahill courageously battled cystic fibrosis while awaiting a life-saving double lung transplant. After a number of "trial runs," Jerry received a call on April 17, 2012 that a new pair of lungs had become available. On April 18, 2012, Jerry finally received the lungs that have completely changed his life.

In accordance with his "You Cannot Fail" attitude, Jerry participated in Boomer's Cystic Fibrosis Run to Breathe 10K in Central Park just three months post-transplant.

Now, Jerry shares his life both pre-transplant and post-transplant with you.
