Wonderful

I found the book totally inspiring!! I pray that when my daughter is old enough to read that she will be as inspired as I was. Thank you Andy for doing such a wonderful book!!!

Alive

This book really opens your eyes to a loved one with CF. Being married to someone with CF gives challenges alone. But, Reading Andy's book shows you that through thick and thin CF has come along way. Medical research has given them alonger median and now Andy has voiced to all that is associated with CF what we deal with. I recommend this book to everyone to open their eye and to helps Andy and everyone else with CF find a CURE

Alive at 25

This book shows how a boy born with a physical challenge overcomes giving in to his impulses through determination and good attitude. Like so many of us, he's one of the last ones picked for the team over and over again. Although he has a great excuse to be a down and out loser, he turns himself into a winner. Andy develops grit thorough his pursuit of sports: running a marathon, joining a baseball team, playing competitive tennis and playing basketball. We learn what it is to be a real friend. Teenagers, especially boys, would relate exceptionally well to this simply written page-turner that gives humorous insight to college life and fraternities.

A great book anyone with CF or caregiver should read it!

This was a very good book and I learned so much from Andy.Just his thoughts and experiances that he shared will make me and help me be a better parent and understand the feelings that my son will have as he grows older. My son is 4 with CF and as I am writing this and I must admit I am not a good writer and he is telling me not to give up, you see he is already a fighter and this book will only help me out in his future to be a better person and a fighter! Thanks so much Andy for sharing your life with us.

Inspiring book and a great read!

This book is an inspring look at how a courages young adult stood up to this disease and looked it straight in the eye. Rather than let CF beat him, he is beating it. I dont know what it is like to have CF, but the Author's description of his own life inspire me to stand up against my own minor problems and face them head on. I read the book on one long delayed flight and I finished it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book for anyone, CFer or not!
