If you enjoy this, then you need to tune into the full version to hear the story of my guest's personal journey.Kyle Collis is an incredible human being. Diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth, the odds were against him from the jump. Throughout his childhood, he felt as though CF rendered him weaker & less able than his peers. It's the reason he never challenged himself physically, until he & his wife brought children into the world. Driven to be a great father & to watch his kids grow up, Kyle began to dabble in physical exercise & before long found himself tackling ultra marathons.Ahead of his 100 mile race in April 2023, we caught up to share an inspirational message with CF patients across the globe & to inspire those who face adversity in any area of their life. We discussed the life changing benefits of the recently approved wonder drug 'Trikafta' & his plans to ensure all CF patients have a prosperous future.Be sure to follow Kyle & I on socials (insta & tiktok) @the_cf_fighter @bradleyjdryburgh Follow/Subscribe to the show on your platform of choice, leave a 5 star rating & kind review to help us reach new listeners & uplift others like yourself around the world.Big love,Brad.
