Wow Nicki! You are so inspirational to so many keep it up !
You are amazing!
Commendable! If she can do all of the with CF I can get back into my training program.
Sjoe! Your story is so inspiring. Took part in a Crossfit competition this past weekend where the oxygen concentration was at 15.3% because of altitude and we are in the middle of our winter and I certainly felt the difference in fatigue and performance ability. After viewing your story you have motivated me to take part again next year and you will certainly be on my mind when I take part to push even harder because you did it when everyone else said you couldn't. It's not in our blood to quit - so we grind!
Great documentary. I share a smiliar story with her. In my childhood I need to breath through machines cause of my really bad asthmatic desease - now, after years of fighting for breath - I am the machine. Thanks to Kung Fu and CrossFit that booth saved my life. Respectful greetings from germany. :)
"Don't bother registering your child for school".....
I sure hope this didn't come from a physician.
Your story is inspiring, and heartbreaking as well. I hope when the time for transplant comes that your recovery goes well.
That statement did come from my doctor at the time.
