Our program participants are not simply “people that have cystic fibrosis.”  They are impressive and outstanding people who are doing great things, who do all this despite the fact that they happen to have cystic fibrosis.  To put it simply, they CF but CF does not have them.  Click on the pictures seen below to learn more about the people that inspire Coach-Ed to keep doing what we are doing.
