- It was wonderful to see Cris'' story. Thank you CBS for getting more people to understand cystic fibrosis. Not alot of people do. I have two daughters who have CF and are doing well. I continue to pray for a cure each day. Having more coverage on cystic fibrosis may help make more advancements because more people may contribute to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.-- a CF mom

- shazie81 - I am a 26 year old woman with CF who grew up going to Doernbecher. There is definitely hope for us with CF. While my lungs are no longer healthy enough to run a marathon, my life is far fuller than what could be imagined for a CF patient when I was diagnosed at 6 months. I''m married, a college graduate, earned my teaching licence, own a home, and live a very full life. I can''t imagine what a world will be open for your child :).

- I am 34 years old with CF. I had a liver transplant and now up for a kidney transplant. I am currently on diaylsis treatments too. The story you did was good and inspiring for us. It may me see that there is hope for us. I am different my lungs are going bad but my others organs are worst. CF does hit other organs besides lungs. If anyone would like to know my story they can contact me.

- It''s great to hear that Cystic Fibrosis is getting some news coverage. My 8 month old son has CF and he was diagnosed with CF when he was almost a month old. When he was 2 months he was hospitalized for 10 days up at Doernbecher''s Childrens Hospital for a lung infection that oral antibiotics just weren%u2019t helping. But now he is doing great and is healthier then ever. I just wanted to thank you for the coverage because there are a lot of people that don''t even know or understand what CF really is. Thank you

- Oh my gosh! What a story. However, my cousin''s daughter, who is now in her 30''s is having a baby. She was born with CF and had very little life expectancy, in the beginning. She has beat all of odds and is healthy and happy, though continues her fight against CF. I think you should consider a story about her.

- Katie Couric''s interview with Cris Dopher and Dr. Gupta was brilliant. Please put the video of it on your web page.
