For our April CF Senior Saturday meeting, it was a pleasure to connect with everyone. We’re especially grateful to Melanie Cullen Schultz, author of Get It Together: Organize Your Records So Your Family Won’t Have To, for guiding us through a topic that is deeply personal, sometimes challenging, but always empowering: organizing our health and personal affairs for the future.

Aging with CF brings unique challenges — but also opportunities to rewrite what wellness looks like on our terms. Movement isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence, adaptability, and community support.

During our Fall and Winter Health Preparation discussion, we reviewed the importance of flu shots—including how to time vaccination based on your individual needs—and understanding the different types of flu vaccines with guidance from your CF care team. The session also included practical tips on how flu and cold viruses spread and effective risk-reduction strategies to help you stay healthy through the season.

We were thrilled to welcome Nicholas Kelly MS, RD, LD as the guest speaker for May's CF Senior Saturday session. In a dynamic and personal presentation, Nick shared tools, mindset shifts, and practical techniques for building confidence in public speaking—especially when telling your own story.

Our March 2025 CF Senior Saturday meeting discussion focused on “Colorectal Cancer Awareness,” emphasizing the urgent need for proactive screening, strong self-advocacy, and community-wide education—especially as adults with CF live longer and face new health considerations.
