Weak lungs, Strong heart
After hearing about Laura, a woman suffering from a serious lung condition, I learned about what kinds of difficult obstacles people like her were forced to overcome. I knew that people like her suffered, but I had no idea how really horrible it was. She suffered from CF, a disease that weakens your breathing. It was a very sad recording and even put one interviewer in tears, the part where her Dad recalls telling her for the first time that she could die was very emotional. Shows about people living with physical problems can be seen on TLC, the learning channel. I've provided a link about one boy who suffered from a horrible skin disease and can be seen on TLC on the show The Boy whose Skin Fell Off.

That sounds soooo sad! What does CF stand for?
