About Rima Manomaitis
Rima was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis around 4 months old. A graduate of Franklin Pierce University, she earned her bachelor's degree in environmental science. She is currently unable to work, so she is focusing on health full time. She received a double-lung transplant at the University of Minnesota Health in Minneapolis in May of 2017 and plans to move back to Colorado soon.
