New Article I Wrote (Plus, CF Hike & Online Friends)

Just wanted to share this latest article I wrote about CF/PCD and everything in between! I didn't "name names" or go in to specifics, but hopefully this article will help someone else... or at least one of you guys can relate? I tried to not go in to TOO many "scurry" details, since my parents oft read my writing- no need to freak out the fam even more ; )

That being said, please let me know what you think: http://bit.ly/18uXJmK

I'm excited to post more about the CFF hike I'm doing too, so if you guys want to follow me on Instagram... maybe we can all cheer each other on in life? I'd love to make more connections and buddies this way!

Nice article Bailey. Glad to see someone reveling our challenges but with a positive tone. We don't need sympathy but a little respect always helps.

Curious, have you ever considered doing a article on the topic of Obamacare from the perspective of a chronically ill person? I feel like we have been completely left out of that argument. There is a gap that is especially worrisome to me. I have great health I insurance now because I am healthy enough to hold down a full time job. But what happens when I can't do that anymore? Just an idea.

And congrats on your upcoming walk! Get out there and make us all proud!!

Cheers, look forward to seeing more of your writing, even if it's not about CF.
 
That was very well written! I love your conversational tone, which lets the YOU shine through. Hang in there with the treatments and such and YAY for having two healthy little girls. You rock! Thanks also for helping raise awareness and funds for fighting Cystic Fibrosis. So often this disease is left on the sidelines when people donate. Happy Hiking!!

Bailey Vincent,

Kudos! Yeah, I actually bought the combo of hypochondria and the ever undefinable "nervous stomach" LOL, man, this could be made into a sitcom.

As a fellow writer, I have to say I am a bit envious of your creative style. Well done! Good luck on your hike. After reading your article and hearing your positive voice, i am certain you will rock anything you put your mind to!
Keep on writing (and hiking)!
