Meet Laura Bonnell! Laura shares her inspiring journey as a mother to two daughters with cystic fibrosis (CF) and her evolution into a passionate advocate for the CF community. Drawing from her own family’s experiences, Laura founded a nonprofit to provide resources and financial assistance to families affected by CF, as well as a podcast that amplifies diverse voices in the fight against the disease.

She reflects on the challenges of caregiving while balancing a demanding career in the news industry, systemic frustrations with health insurance, and the emotional toll of raising children with CF.

The conversation explores late diagnoses, disparities in healthcare, the transformative impact of medications like Trikafta, and the complexities of treatments such as lung transplants. Laura’s candid stories and her drive to empower others highlight the resilience, hope, and advocacy that define her mission to make a difference.
