Jerry Cahill: Its Not About CF

In this behind-the-scenes look at the man who has become an inspiration to the CF community, Jerry discusses growing up with CF, how he broke the news about the disease to his former boss, and how he dealt with going on disability. The vidcast includes interviews with Jerry's former colleagues in the apparel industry, his doctor, his high school track coach, and the student-athletes he coaches today.

"There's no mantra, there's no secret formula" for living a full life, 53-year-old Jerry says. "I basically just attack the day." He emphasizes that "my life is not about CF. It's about me as an individual being strong-minded, strong-willed and pulling through."
