Hi my name is Tiffany and I am living with cystic fibrosis.My days consist of breathing treatments,taking antibiotics,specail vitamins,enzymes,and using a therapy vest to loosen the mucus built up in my chest.When I get sick I go to the hospital and get put on at least two weeks of iv antibiotics sometimes more due to the severity of the infection.I have been through numerous surgeries, and procedures due to the complcations from this disease and it is challenging.I made friends with other people who also have this disease and have lost great friends due to this disease. I lost my best friend Heidi whos live was cut short due to this devastating disease.Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.That is why your help is so important .The Cystic Fibrosis Foundaton is making "Great Strides" in the treatment and care for people like me.The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation hosts walk a thons called Great Strides across america for cystic fibrosis that raises money to find a cure.I have a team called Team Tiffy's Tigers.My team is taking part in the Bakersfield,Ca walk to be held on the 12th of April.For more info check out great strides at cff.org
