With the holidays fast approaching, it's time to prepare for the change of schedule in your cystic fibrosis routine.

Hear how frequent flier Stacy Motenko keeps herself organized as she turns traveling with CF into a manageable affair.

I grew up on a farm in the countryside in Sweden. My younger brother also has cystic fibrosis, so money was always a little tight in my family, due to the costs of treatments.

Planning a last-minute vacation before the end of the summer? We’ve got you covered! All week long we’ll be sharing tips, advice and personal stories on traveling with CF.
