Lady holding a Nerdbugs Lung Plushie Organ

CF Warrior, Lily!

Meet the incredible Lily, a brave soul who has fearlessly shared her journey with Cystic Fibrosis.

At just 33 years old, she has faced challenges that would leave many in awe of her strength. Lily's battle against Cystic Fibrosis while navigating a pandemic was undeniably tough, and even though 2020 brought its share of struggles, it also marked a significant milestone in her life.

Lily embraced a new medicine for CF, and for the first time in years, she was able to breathe deeply.

Her appreciation for every breath is heartwarming: "When you have CF, you can never take breath for granted 🥰."⁠ Lily's resilience radiates through her words and experiences.

The lung plushie she holds isn't just for her; it's a symbol of her role as Auntie Lily. The plushie is destined for her friend's 3-year-old son, Hardy. Lily sees it as an opportunity to teach him about the journey his parents have undertaken – raising awareness, advocating, and fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis.

Lily's story is a testament to the power of resilience, community, and the relentless pursuit of a deep breath.
