The name 'Reflect It Back' comes from the idea of not only giving back but also seeing yourself in someone else.

Getting anything off the ground is going to require a little bit of risk. That risk starts with sharing the idea.

While there is no cure, cystic fibrosis is so close to being a livable disease. There is a lot of hope.

Empathy is the starting point for creating a community and taking action. It's the impetus for creating change.

Personally, I had a close friend with cystic fibrosis. I won't ever forget how he handled himself. In the face of extreme challenges and very harrowing circumstances, he maintained a positive outlook and was just very dignified, even in his suffering.

I think the main thing is to find something you care about. A cause. I think it starts with others. Who do you look up to? Who do you want to help? Start in your own community.
