Dana Handler, an intern with the Foundation's advocacy team, recounts her experience and explains her renewed confidence that we'll find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Dana's best friend, Colleen Lusk, passed away in 2013 from cystic fibrosis. Dana now advocates in memory of Colleen and in honor of Colleen's sister, Erin, who lives with CF. She currently attends Indiana University and is studying recreational therapy. In 2016, she interned for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in its public policy department. Dana is a three-time attendee of the Cystic Fibrosis Teen Advocacy Day, and received the Greater Illinois Area Chapter's Outstanding Advocate Award in 2014.
