"So little Johnny eat your oat meal!"
NO!
"Come on... eat your oat meal!"
NO!

Little Johnny was mis-behaving at the breakfast table (once again).
Matter of fact he lose himself within self and little Johnn's breathholding caused concern with family and friends. It was concern at first then near panic as the seconds turned to minutes. Then they realize Johnny was different. He had a gift... holding his breath.

"Oh, what shall we do with little Johhny?" they all said. Maybe he dosen't like oat meal. But, this simple "skill" became a way of making a killing in his adult life ... they'd put him in a glass bubble filled with water and he can hold his breath for for a paying audience.

So Mr. little Johnny has been cashin' in big time holding his breath. He was even on the Oprah Winfrey show (a real small big deal) all the while many a young person with Cystic Fibrosis fights daily for a normal breath... Most of these kids can't get air time, literaly.

So while you are having your morning dose of oat meal please think of CF kids like Abby Clark who have to fight for what we take for normal, a simple breath.
