My twin sister and I were born with cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease that affects the lungs and pancreas. After a lifetime of hospitalizations and progressive illness, we BOTH received life-saving lung transplants.

Mine (Anabel) was on 6/14/00 and Isabel's was on 2/6/04. We are now 34 years old. We live a life of renewed health and freedom. Each day is a gift thanks to our donor families who said "yes" to organ donation at a time of tragedy.

We wrote a book about our experience called "The Power of Two" which should be out in Fall 2007. We'd like to share that for parents who face the challenges of twins with health problems.
