Living with cystic fibrosis: the challenges and triumphs along the way.  Live-Breathe-Inspire

&lt;p&gt;Diane Shader Smith’s daughter Mallory died from complications of cystic fibrosis 6 years ago. She was 25 years old. Diane initially published her daughter’s diary, &lt;i&gt;&quot;Salt in My Soul&quot;&lt;/i&gt;.  This book gave insight into how Mallory was feeling during her CF fight. Her deepest thoughts, and life lessons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Diane Shader Smith  is now releasing a second book on behalf of her daughter, &quot;Diary of a dying Girl&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The title honestly may sound depressing, but as Diane explains, it is a wakeup call about our public health crisis and is an empowering story. Mallory&#039;s writing is so beautiful. And I can tell you, you won&#039;t be sad reading her book, you&#039;ll be inspired. In this podcast Diane explains that it&#039;s our job to raise awareness about Phage Therapy, and about the dangers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Something that everyone should become educated about, whether CF is your disease space, or not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can buy Mallory&#039;s book here:  &lt;a href=&quot;https://diaryofadyinggirl.com&quot;&gt;https://diaryofadyinggirl.com&lt;/a&gt;    All the money goes to AMR research through Mallory’s Legacy Fund. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also sign up, and tell your story at the Global AMR Diary: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.globalamrdiary.org&quot;&gt;https://www.globalamrdiary.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br />
