Living With Cystic Fibrosis

Bijal Trivedi is a journalist and an author. She spent 8 years writing the book, Breath from Salt.  It's an in-depth look at how parents with CF children banded together to start what is now the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Trivedi weaves a beautiful story of all the players, from CFF President Bob Beall, to Joe and Kathy O'Donnell's involvement and all the other parents intertwined along the way.  The scientists contributions are worked into the book beautifully.  You'll learn things about CF you may have never heard before, and you'll be cheering on those scientists. Trivedi recently became Senior Science Editor at National Geographic.   When Trivedi began Breath of Salt in 2012 she was familiar with a drug that would only help 4 percent of the CF population, she realized how quickly science was moving in the field of CF, and decided to write about the history of CF, and all who had a role in getting us to where we are today (2022).  No one in Trivedi's family has CF, but we certainly consider her family.  H
