SICK & HAPPY

I am a 58 year-old “CF Survivor.”  As such, I wake up every morning amazed and grateful to be alive and relatively healthy, despite two copies of F508del-CFTR. My interest in the world of cystic fibrosis research led me to Stanford Medical School, where I was honored to work in the Cystic Fibrosis Research Laboratory while pursuing my MD. Now retired from medicine, I fill my days with family and dogs, hanging out with my partner, volunteering for CFRI, teaching mindfulness to the CF community, and writing for various publications about my passions of exercise and mindfulness meditation. Oh…and staying alive.
