Lauren Bombardier Weeks is thriving with cystic fibrosis. From the day she was diagnosed at 3 years old, her parents decided their little girl wasn't going to live in a bubble. If her life would be short, at the very least, they would allow her to live her best life possible. Now, thanks to the benefits of exercise and life changing medical treatments, she is doing everything she never thought she would be alive and healthy enough to do. Lauren is a skier, a hiker, and a runner, with a goal to run the Boston Marathon next year. She spends the rest of her time speaking and advocating for cf, working for a pharmaceutical company full time, and going on adventures with her husband and golden retriever, Nugget. Lauren blogs about her life with cf at TheSoWhatLife.com and her memoir, Growing Up Sick details how her parents guided her from a toddler who ran away at the mention of “treatment time,” to an adult who chose to say “so what?!” when faced with the prospect of a short life.
