Every year, teens like me advocate for cystic fibrosis — either sharing their own experiences with CF or speaking on behalf of a loved one. This experience can have a huge impact on us, even after we return to our daily lives.

Growing up with my sister, who has cystic fibrosis, has its challenges. Although it is sometimes difficult to watch her have to miss out on the things she loves, I've been able to learn so much and connect with many other amazing family members of those with CF.
