Ben Mudge- Irish personal trainer and fitness model. What is truly amazing is that he has cystic fibrosis- a terminal illness. Great strides in treatment have been made in the last 20 years. However the median survival for individuals is still probably in their late 30's. and also when you consider that the majority of CF patients have trouble gaining weight due to problems with their pancreas. I have to assume that he somehow has a more mild form of the disease because I don't think most people with CF could accomplish this. But he is a great inspiration!!

About me

No one wants to be a part of a bad statistic, so if i were to tell you that people like you only live to be about 35 years old, and to even get there you'd probably have to have at least one lung transplant, You'd want to do everything to avoid that wouldn't you? This is a statistic i refuse to be apart of. This is one of the many sad statistics of a Cystic Fibrosis patient. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, it has always been apart of my life, but rarely have i let i affect my life, My strategy to avoid being a statistic, is exercise. I always stayed active as a young boy and kept up with the normal kids, so when i My doctors told me about the dangers of CF i didnt understand, But it wasnt until 8th grade, when i had an asthma attack at football practice, That i realized i am different. from there on out i vowed to never let something like that happen again. There's been nothing scarier in my life than that moment, the feeling of being vulnerable, something you dont have control of taking over your body. since that day exercise has been life thorughout high school i've had impecable health. and in my first varsity football season i really got in weight lifting, i wanted to be stronger i wanted to be better,i was able to win the starting position my next year of football. to this day i still am able to avoid the hospital with my condition, although i do feel some affects of CF while at the gym . whether its getting light-headed of losing some muscle function due to poor oxygen flow. But when i Feel this i am inspired to push myself. i am inspired to not let CF bring me down. and in doing this i hope to inspire everyone, not just people with CF but anyone who wants to better themselves and overcome obstacles in their lives.
