As a second-time grant recipient, Erin is a powerful example of the various benefits exercise can have in one's life. With her husband as her continuing Peer Support person, she is motivated and supported not only in her life with CF, but also in her exercise swimming and working out at the gym. Although the effort Erin puts toward her treatments, medications and exercise seems relentless at times, she considers it a small sacrifice. Her lung function has continued to improve over the past year of utilizing her CFLF Recreation Grant, which has given her great excitement, inspiration and hope in dealing with the disease. "I'm a dedicated person and I work incredibly hard at everything I do - and having CF is no exception. I see it more as a challenge than anything else." Erin looks forward to her continued time swimming and working out at the gym with her husband, and knows that she is continuing to add time and quality to her life.
