For 56 years, Jerry Cahill has courageously battled cystic fibrosis while awaiting a life-saving double-lung transplant.

In April 2012, Jerry got the call. A new pair of lungs had become available.

As a testament to his courage and dogged perseverance, Jerry crossed the finish line at the 2012 Boomer's Run to Breathe 10K - barely three months removed from his transplant surgery.

Now, for the first time since that surgery, Jerry opens up about life before and after receiving a new set of lungs.
