Twenty-four years ago, cystic fibrosis snuck up behind me, tapped me on the shoulder, and did not ask me but told me: Turn around and follow.  So I did! Now my baby girl who was diagnosed with CF in the spring of 2002 is a thriving and successful grown-up who is about to start law school.  The median predicted survival age, in just those years, has increased from 31 to 65 -- astonishing success that is almost entirely attributable to the good work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  But the work is not done!  We have not yet cured cystic fibrosis and threats to my daughter's health lurk behind every tree.  So, I invite you to join me in continuing to support what is rightly called, in many quarters. "the greatest story in medicine."
