Unique Transplant Journeys: Stories of Strength and Resilience (Audio)

April is National Donate Life Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation. In this podcast, adults with CF, Elyse Elconin-Goldberg, Missy Peterson, and Willem Wery, reflect on their experiences preparing for, undergoing, and recovering from double lung transplants. With unique journeys, Elyse, Missy, and Willem discuss the joys and challenges of receiving "the gift of breath." They share how they prepared through exercise, therapy, and family support, and offer insights for others considering a transplant or becoming an organ donor.
