Living With Cystic Fibrosis9 Des 2024

Rock Star, Emily Schaller: one on one.

Emily Schaller, 42, is a heroine with one goal in mind, to Rock CF.

A lot of laughs on this podcast with my friend Emily! She talks about her health, the Foundation, new and old legislation and what's coming up in 2025!

Equal parts spark, wit and humor, Emily is claiming her victories against cystic fibrosis having launched the Rock CF Foundation in 2007 to heighten public awareness and raise funds to increase the quality of life for everyone with CF. Emily created and manages an internationally acclaimed line of merchandise to help fulfill the mission of Rock CF. Today, Emily’s battle against this deadly genetic disease is printed in Runner’s World, FORBES, The Atlantic and SPIN magazines, the New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR and posted on Competitor.com, Shape.com, the Associated Press, and various cystic fibrosis focused educational websites. She is a marathon running, super teacher and a speaker, addressing parents, patients and audiences about the effects of cystic fibrosis and the ever changing and improving treatments being made. Through Emily’s humor and personal experience, she inspires the masses to transform their lives with exercise, diet and goal setting.
