Merry Christmas Patient Worthians! And no worries if you don’t celebrate it, because we’re celebrating the overall spirit of giving by supporting this crowdfunding initiative with CysticLife.
This month, we have been teaming up with CysticLife to spread awareness of cystic fibrosis and support their collaboration with the Mayo Clinic for a community-driven research project investigating the benefits of exercise for CF patients.
This week, we have reports on cystic fibrosis treatments, events and personal stories for you to enjoy! Additionally, we have part 1 of a certain holiday challenge we all face: keeping to your diet.
Merry Christmas (or Happy December 25th) and happy reading!
