“Simon isn't short on confidence, and it really is beautiful,” Nic Allen, a father of a child with cystic fibrosis, said. “He doesn't see CF as a limitation, and goes into every challenge believing that anything is possible.” Simon was diagnosed with CF shortly after he was born 12 years ago. His dad, Nic, shares his optimism about the future. “His 12 years of life so far have seen the most radical advancements in treatments for people living with CF, thanks to the work of the CF Foundation and amazing researchers and pharmaceutical companies,” he said. “I can't imagine the progress we'll make in the next 12 years, and I truly believe that one day, folks with CF can enjoy the same quality of life and longevity of life as anyone else.” (fb)
