Making It Matter With Gunnar Esiason And Julia Rae

Julia and I invited the Salty Cysters to join the program this week to talk about the kind of friendship that can be created between two people living with CF. Tiffany, a recent double lung transplant recipient, lives in California, while Lea (who has already been on the podcast once before) lives in Baltimore. Lea mentions that a few years ago she was struggling and wanted to talk to someone who understood everything that people with CF go through - Tiff was that person! And now today they have a recognizable social media brand, the Salty Cysters, spreading awareness and raising money for the fight against CF. Of note: while they do mention the possibility of one day meeting in person, that is not something that I can personally advocate for. Cross-Infection guidelines are in place to keep people with cystic fibrosis safe from different strains of bacteria
