    Gyms

    Put a towel down so your face is NEVER touching the machine/bench. NEVER put your hands to your face. Wash your hands really good when done. Wipe down the cardio machine before use. Jennifer 34 years old with Cf and CFRD

    Why your username?

    Growing up I had and still do a very contagious, loud, giggly laugh. People have always commented on it my whole life. And I think laughing is the best medicine!! Jennifer 34 years old with Cf and Cfrd
