Caleigh Haber-Takayama
Bio
I'm Caleigh Haber, a cystic fibrosis warrior, two-time double lung transplant recipient, and passionate advocate for the chronic illness community. Born with CF, I've navigated countless surgeries and medical challenges while choosing to live each day to the fullest in honor of my donors and with deep gratitude for my supportive community. Through Fight2Breathe and my podcast "Our Fight to Breathe," I advocate for the cystic fibrosis, organ transplant, and rare disease communities, working to raise awareness and inspire others to thrive despite their challenges.Appears in 13 Episodes
