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.

My cause does not fit the criteria of those above. My cause is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness. In October of 2006, my dear friend Lauren Cole died from cystic fibrosis. She was diagnosed at six months of age and battled this disease for nineteen long years with grace and a smile. Lauren recieved a double lung transplant in May of 2005, but her fragile body was just too weak. Lauren is my inspiration. Because of Lauren, I want to be a pediatric pulmonologist. I want to help people struggling with cystic fibrosis, just like her.
