    I had no idea of the current medical tech on Cystic-Fibrosis. That’s phenomenal and I truly hope it helps as many people as possible. CF was a huge deal when I was a kid and it’s great to hear that the scientists, doctors, and researchers have created such life improving medicines. Thank you everyone involved in making this a reality!
