Vicky of the
Dragonfly Soars podcast talked about how her son’s friend is raising money for Cystic Fibrosis (the friend’s sister has CF) this touches my heart in so many ways. I love how Vicky talks of her son, and how her son told the friend his mom is a podcaster, and knitters will help! Mostly, CF, my bff passed away from Cystic Fibrosis, I know how debilitating this genetic disease is[angelmum3](person)
