Boomer Esiason Wants You to Take GREAT STRIDES for Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis in a Nutshell

CF is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. A defective gene causes the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections, obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is now more than 37 years old.

That being said, it affects everyone differently, and I try to live my life as if there is no predicted age of survival.
