"Oh, the people you'll meet, and the places you'll go..."That classic Dr. Seuss line couldn't have been more true when I found myself at a rare disease conference, taking with Dr. Gabriel Cohn. A quiet presence with a resume that reads like a roadmap through the last 30 years of rare disease breakthroughs, Dr. Cohn is the kind of person who reminds you just how much heart and science it takes to change lives.Dr. Gabe Cohn is the Executive Director and Medical Director of the Rosenau Family Research Foundation. He stepped into the role in October, bringing with him over three decades of experience that spans academic medicine and the biotechnology industry. A licensed, board-certified Clinical Geneticist and Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Dr. Cohn has contributed to the development of multiple therapeutics aimed at treating rare genetic disorders—a career built on both clinical precision and compassionate innovation.Beyond RFRF, he's also the Chief Medical Officer at iECURE, Inc., a biotech company pioneering gene editing therapies for rare diseases. His prior leadership roles at Homology Medicines, AVROBIO, OvaScience, and Shire reflect a steady focus on advancing gene therapy and editing platforms. Since 2017 alone, he's played a pivotal role in getting five different cell and gene therapy programs past the critical regulatory gatekeeping stages of IND and CTA submissions.Dr. Cohn isn't just a scientist—he's a builder, a connector, and a relentless advocate for the potential of genetic medicine to rewrite the future for patients with rare diseases.If you would like to get a hold of the Rosenau Foundation: https://rosenaufoundation.org Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Cystic Fibrosis and obesity? Until recently this has not been a topic of conversation for the CF community. The reason for obesity in the CF community is better health and longer lives, so the concern is now a reality. University of Michigan CF doctor, Carey Lumeng is researching the issue. As he says in this podcast, researchers have a lot to learn about the connection between better health in CF and obesity. We also talk about The Bonnell Foundation fellowship program. A few years ago we started the program to encourage doctors to work in the specialty field of cystic fibrosis. Dr. Lumeng is one of the doctors who oversees this program.Dr. Lumeng is the Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor for the Cure and Prevention of Birth Defects and Professor in Pediatrics and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Dr. Lumeng is the Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonology at the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Associate Director of the Michigan MSTP Program.He grew up in Indiana and graduated from Princeton University in Molecular Biology. He received his PhD in Human Genetics and MD from the University of Michigan and completed residency training in Pediatrics in the Boston Combined Pediatrics Residency Program at Boston Children's Hospital and Boston Medical Center. He then completed fellowship training in Pediatric Pulmonology at the University of Michigan and started as faculty in 2006. He runs a research lab focused on the health effects of obesity and the links between metabolism and lung health. The laboratory participates in both basic science and translational research projects in adult and pediatric obesity. He is funded by the NIH and the CF Foundation for new projects studying the changing causes of diabetes in people with CF.To contact the CF pediatric department (the Bonnell girls are pictured on this page): https://www.mottchildren.org/conditions-treatments/cystic-fibrosis-pediatric?pk_vid=6ff46bd2d38fe04c1739891353f5b28b Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en
What does it mean to embody true beauty in a world obsessed with appearances? In this inspiring episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay is joined by none other than Miss America* 2025, Abbie Stockard, to explore how faith, girlhood, and purpose can shine even in the most public of arenas. With grace and conviction, Abbie shares how her identity in Christ shapes everything—from her passion for pediatric nursing and her advocacy for Cystic Fibrosis, to her bold stance on inner beauty and self-worth in the pageant world. A proud Alabama native and senior at Auburn University, Abbie has used her platform to raise over $200,000 for CF research and promote healthy habits in children through her “High Five for Kids” initiative. But what sets Abbie apart isn't just her crown—it's her heart. With remarkable vulnerability and insight, she opens up about the fire God placed in her belly and how her family and faith community nurtured that calling from a young age. Patti and Abbie tackle big questions moms are asking today: How can we help our daughters dream big while keeping Christ at the center? How do we preserve the innocence and wonder of girlhood in a world that pushes girls to grow up too fast? And how can we teach our daughters to find their worth not in the mirror or on social media, but in the unchanging truth of God's Word? This episode is a heartfelt celebration of young women who boldly pursue their God-given purpose—and a powerful reminder to mothers that your influence matters deeply. Whether your daughter dreams of a stage, a stethoscope, or something in between, this conversation will encourage you to walk alongside her with intentionality, love, and unshakable faith. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a young woman who's not just wearing a crown—but living out her calling to reflect the beauty and goodness of the King.

The True Blue Podcast is proud to introduce Cst. Tyrus Sleightholme (Class #174) and so happy to see him achieving his goal of serving as a police officer. Tyrus was born with Cystic Fibrosis and thankfully remained healthy as a child, fortunately once he received the live changing medication “Trikafta” his goal of becoming a police officer became very achievable. Tyrus was very active in sports as a kid and even played college baseball before getting the new medicine. He comes to VicPD with previous experience working as a By-Law Officer and you'll hear about his compassion for people and his drive to serve the public. Thank you to his proud father, retired Sergeant Dale Sleightholme for sharing his memories and some anecdotes about Tyrus. Good luck to Tyrus in his policing career.

The full NFL schedule will be released today. We want to be able to announce one of the games, even if it's a week 10 Jets/Dolphins game. A caller told us just to eat dinner at the golf course we're playing, which is a pretty good idea. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Evan Roberts proclaiming the Knicks success as a Nets fan has him ‘dead'. The Pacers moved on to the conference finals after knocking off the Cavaliers. Jayson Tatum had his achilles surgery. The Yankees lost to the Mariners in 11 and we heard from Max Fried. Boomer said he had a conversation with Dave Sims about him taking off the A's series. The Mets beat the Pirates 2-1 as Baty homered. Carlos Mendoza talked about Baty's recent performance. Pete Alonso was late to get on the field one inning. He might have been in the bathroom. In the final segment of the hour, we remember Katy Monte, who passed away from Cystic Fibrosis. Boomer knew her well and she was a Michael Brennan Award winner. More NFL games have been released and we're getting Chiefs at Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Hour 1 The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Cavaliers and await the Knicks/Celtics winner. With Jayson Tatum having Achilles surgery, the expected Cavaliers/Celtics Eastern Conference Finals is impacted, putting pressure on Jaylen Brown. Evan and Tommy Lugauer are broadcasting from Boston; Evan enjoys sports travel. BT compared himself and Sal to "Mike & The Mad Dog," recalling past Knicks travel. Boomer called Tommy Lugauer the "Shedeur Sanders of WFAN." Jerry's update covered the Pacers' win and Adam Schein's displeasure with the Mavericks getting the top draft pick. In Mets news, Baty homered in a win over the Pirates, despite a Vientos error. Bill Belichick clarified Jordon Hudson's lack of connection to UNC football. The show's final segment discussed logistics for next week's Jersey shore broadcast, including golf and dinner, ruling out Butcher Block in Long Branch. Hour 2 The full NFL schedule is released today. Jerry's update included Evan Roberts' reaction to the Knicks' success as a Nets fan. The Pacers advanced by beating the Cavaliers; Jayson Tatum had Achilles surgery. The Yankees lost to the Mariners in 11 innings. Boomer mentioned a conversation with Dave Sims about skipping the A's series. The Mets won 2-1 against the Pirates with a Baty homer; Carlos Mendoza discussed Baty's play, and Pete Alonso was late to the field one inning. The final segment remembered Katy Monte, who died from Cystic Fibrosis; Boomer knew her well. More NFL games were released, including Chiefs at Cowboys on Thanksgiving Hour 3 Boomer & Gio discussed the awkwardness of asking new parents how they're doing, the Giants' early season schedule including a Week 3 home game against the Chiefs on MNF (Art Stapleton confirmed 3 primetime games), Timothee Chalamet's Knicks fandom, Porzingis discussing Tatum's injury, Yankees losing (Boone ejected), Mets winning (Baty homer), Shawne Merriman liking the Giants' Abdul Carter pick, Trey Hendrickson's uncertain Bengals future due to contract issues, and Michael Jordan joining NBA on NBC in an unclear role. Hour 4 License Plate Guy indicates the Giants may be in Vegas between Christmas and New Year's. Audio played of Brandon Tierney mentioning comparisons to Mike & The Mad Dog. Boomer faced criticism, including from Keith McPherson, for questioning Dave Sims taking off the A's series. A caller suggested betting on the underdog Knicks tonight. Jerry's update covered the Pacers advancing and needing 8 wins for a title, Charles Barkley's humorous response to a question about playing Wilt Chamberlain, Aaron Boone's ejection after Dominguez's strikeout call, and Baty's homer in the Mets' 2-1 win. Bill Belichick sidestepped questions about Jordon Hudson. The Moment of The Day was Tommy Lugauer being called the "Shedeur Sanders of WFAN." The first six difficult Giants games were also revealed.
Antimicrobial resistance is a rising global threat. When these become ineffective, infections can become difficult or impossible to treat, leading to an increase in the spread and severity of disease. In a new study, published in Nature Medicine, a team of researchers at the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy at Yale discovered a novel approach that may revolutionize the fight against antimicrobial resistance. In the study, the research team investigated the use of phage therapy—the use of viruses, or phages, to target and kill bacteria—to help patients with cystic fibrosis, a disease in which antimicrobial resistance is a significant issue. The team pioneered a strategy to select phages that not only kill bacteria that cause infections but also weaken surviving bacteria to become less virulent or less resistant to antibiotics. Joining me today to discuss phage therapy and their research is Jon Koff, MD, Dr. Koff is an associate professor in Yale School of Medicine's Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and medical director of the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy.

A 70-year-old person with cystic fibrosis. It's a phrase that wasn't just uncommon a few decades ago—it was virtually unheard of.When Luanne McKinnon was diagnosed in 1969 at just 13 years old, doctors told her parents she might live to be 19 years old. Today, Luanne stands on the edge of her 70th birthday—a milestone that not only redefines possibility but embodies resilience, creativity, and purpose.Born in Dallas, Texas in 1955, Luanne was diagnosed at a time when cystic fibrosis was still barely understood. No vests. No targeted medications. No community. And yet, she carved out a life of profound impact. “I stand as a witness to the possible.” says Luanne McKinnonAfter earning a Master of Fine Art in Painting and a PhD in Art History, she launched a celebrated career in the visual arts—owning an art dealership in New York City, directing major university museums, publishing works, and curating over 35 exhibitions. She even became a Fellow at the prestigious Getty Research Institute.And while that would be more than enough for most of us, Luanne continued to pour herself into advocacy—serving as Co-chair for Stanford's Patient and Family Advisory Committee, raising awareness for CF patients before and after transplant. In 2011, she underwent a successful double-lung transplant at Stanford, and fourteen years later, she is still very much living proof.This episode is not about her equally remarkable husband—EMMY award-winning filmmaker Daniel Reeve—though we'll mention him later. This is about Luanne—her life, her art, her truth, and her refusal to let a diagnosis define the limits of her possibility. She says, “I stand as a witness to the possible.”And after listening to this conversation, I think you'll believe in the possible, too.Welcome, to a very special episode of the Living with cystic fibrosis podcast and our incredible guest, Luanne McKinnon.

Episode 125 | Ste Johnson (The VI Guy) returns to the podcast! In this three hour episode, Ste shares how he has custom-designed a fulfilling life with his disability, his take on whether blindness exists on a spectrum, how he travels the globe as a legally blind man, how his parents knew he had retinitis pigmentosa (RP) but never told him, how his wife's Cystic Fibrosis reshaped his perspective on vision loss, how he joined a dangerous paddleboard expedition by withholding the fact that he's legally blind, how he creates content, and much more! SEE-THROUGH is hosted by Lance Johnson. Based in New York City, Lance is a video editor living with a rare and incurable eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa (or RP for short).

Send us a textWhat happens when you deliberately choose difficulty and discomfort? In this powerful reunion episode with Brian Mora, we explore how voluntary adversity shapes character, expands capabilities, and ultimately leads to greater fulfillment.Since we last spoke two years ago, Brian has transformed his life through deliberate challenge. After taking on leadership of recruiting at Ameriprise Financial, he learned stand-up paddleboarding from scratch to complete the 79-mile Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis event from the Bahamas to Florida. Perhaps most significantly, he fulfilled his entrepreneurial dream by opening a Rumble Boxing franchise, stepping far outside his corporate comfort zone.The conversation reveals practical wisdom for anyone seeking growth. Brian emphasizes starting with meaningful challenges, identifying potential obstacles, creating progress markers, and cultivating accountability partnerships. He shares how his paddleboard journey through shark-infested waters taught perseverance, while his boxing studio revealed striking differences between financial services and fitness industries—particularly regarding customer relationships and retention.Most powerfully, Brian addresses the core barrier many face: the fear of being bad at something new. He advocates dual visualization—picturing both the rewards of persevering and the risks of inaction. This approach provides motivation through difficult moments and helps overcome the natural tendency to avoid discomfort.Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply seeking to build more discipline into your daily routine, this episode offers a blueprint for embracing discomfort as a path to growth. As Brian notes, "The key to a long life is continuing to challenge yourself"—wisdom backed by neuroscience and demonstrated through his remarkable journey.Ready to step outside your comfort zone and discover what you're truly capable of?

In this episode of DriveTime, Pete Proimos, founder of the Filotimo Foundation, discusses his former aftermarket career at AP Emissions Technologies and the next facet of his life that supports cystic fibrosis.After Pete finished college, briefly attended law school and quickly realized that career wasn't for him, his father Vange advised him to work in the company's distribution center. Pete worked his way up through the ranks, spending a year and a half working through every single department, and eventually landed in sales where he held various roles.Pete then took his tools and war chest and moved it to another phase of his life, when he founded the Filotimo Foundation for cystic fibrosis support. Pete shares that he was born with cystic fibrosis, which is a genetically inherited disease. He describes the issues of living with cystic fibrosis, medical advancements that have increased life expectancy, and how his foundation was formed to help and support a patient set of 40,000 adults in the U.S. who are living longer with cystic fibrosis, and who now have to figure out how they're going to survive as adults in society.The Filotimo Foundation is hosting a gala fundraising event on May 16, 2025, to help create awareness of and support for the disease. The event will raise money for both hardship support and fertility support for cystic fibrosis patients. Every dollar raised is a dollar that goes straight toward those patients, Pete said, such that $2,000 can get one cystic fibrosis patient full hardship support for an entire year.To learn more about Pete and his foundation, be sure to watch the video above.To donate, log onto: https://filotimofoundation.org/donate/ Episode Overview:• Pete describes how he got his start in the automotive aftermarket and provides an overview of his former role at AP Emissions (1:14)• Pete shares his personal story and how it fostered the creation of a foundation, the Filotimo Foundation, in support of cystic fibrosis (6:48)• The purpose of the Filotimo Foundation (12:58)• Details about the upcoming Gala event, and how the industry can support the Foundation (17:10)• Lightning Round (21:12).

Ben Mudge has been coaching for 14 years and his platforms are all about making health and fitness easier. His new book Fitness Without Limits – training to break through barriers and live fearlessly is available now. This is Ben's hat trick appearance on the podcast. Ben has Cystic Fibrosis and on top of being an inspiration for so many, I personally get so much from every conversation we have; so definitely check out previous episodes with this incredible human being if you haven't already. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: · Comparison can be detrimental to personal growth and happiness. · Life experiences should take precedence over physical appearance. · Worrying is a waste of imagination and energy. · Memories are more important than physical achievements. · It's essential to break free from restrictive mindsets around food and fitness. · Perspective shifts can empower individuals to make better choices. · Coaching should focus on helping clients find their own answers. Understanding individual needs is crucial for effective coaching. · Disordered eating can normalize unhealthy behaviors. · No food should be off limits to promote a healthy relationship with food. · Mental health is foundational for overall well-being and coaching success. · Life is chaotic; we must adapt our expectations accordingly. · Food is more than just fuel; it carries emotional significance. · Coaches provide accountability and structure, but clients must empower themselves. · A problem shared is a problem halved; don't minimize your struggles.

It Happened To Me: A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast
In this episode of It Happened To Me, co-hosts Beth Glassman and Cathy Gildenhorn sit down with Laura Bonnell, a seasoned journalist with 25 years of experience in Detroit, founded The Bonnell Foundation in 2010 after her daughters, Molly and Emily, were born with cystic fibrosis (CF). Despite having ten siblings between them, Laura and her husband, Joe, had no idea they were carriers of the disease, as no one else in either family had been diagnosed with CF. Driven by her personal experience and professional expertise, Laura used her platform as a reporter to raise awareness about CF. Before establishing The Bonnell Foundation, she actively raised funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, participating in the Great Strides Walk fundraisers and speaking at CFF events. Bonnell also organized events like the first Celebrity Softball game with the Detroit Tigers' wives and launching the "Portraits of Cystic Fibrosis" calendars in 2003—both of which are integral to The Bonnell Foundation's fundraising efforts today. Through her foundation, Laura continues to advocate tirelessly for those affected by CF, leveraging her journalistic skills to amplify the cause and support the CF community. Topics Covered: Understanding Cystic Fibrosis: What it is, how it affects the body, and the daily medical routines required to manage it. Personal Journey: Laura's experience with her daughters' diagnoses and the challenges her family faced. Advocacy Through Journalism: How Laura's skills as a journalist influenced her podcast, Living With Cystic Fibrosis, and her advocacy work. The Bonnell Foundation: From organizing the first Celebrity Softball game with the Detroit Tigers' wives to producing the "Portraits of Cystic Fibrosis" calendars, Laura discusses her foundation's mission and impact. Challenges and Progress: The evolving landscape of CF treatment, including the life-changing potential of medications like Trikafta. Community Support: How The Bonnell Foundation helps families navigate life with CF and fosters a sense of connection.

When your parents tell you you'll be the exception to CF's cruel rules, you either sink or swim - Madison MacGregor chose to freestyle. When doctors couldn't halt her declining health, Madison went rogue - ditching the CF diet for squash and alternative treatments until she weighed just 88 pounds. From competitive dancing with an IV to battling her medical team at every turn, this self-proclaimed "geriatric Gen Z-er" shares her unconventional journey through CF. But the real twist? Sometimes surviving isn't the hardest part - it's figuring out who you are when death is no longer knocking at your door.Find our other episodes about cystic fibrosis here (the first-ever episode of Sickboy!), here, and here (our chat with Justin Baldoni).Catch the full video version of this episode on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!
