"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.

There is a multitude of organizations working to support the cystic fibrosis community, as well as a variety of tools and information available to help people with CF not just live, but thrive.

Wind Sprint 26: Working Out on the Road

Episode 26 of the CF Wind Sprint series discusses how to keep up with your exercise regimen while traveling.

In the video, BEF Volunteer Jerry Cahill shares his favorite tips for exercises that can be done in a hotel room or other small space, including using hand grips, bungee bands and a jump rope, all of which are found in our Club CF gym bag. You can get your own Club CF bag by submitting your CF story to www.clubcysticfibrosis.com.

This CF Wind Sprint is made possible by an unrestricted educational grant from Genentech to the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
