It makes life very, very difficult. Amanda, like most who deal with this horrible disease, starts her day on a nebulizer to help with breathing and fight infections, until now.

Colton's foundation - The Colten Underwood Legacy Foundation - gifted Amanda with an AffloVest, first of it's kind battery-operated mobile airway clearance system. The AffloVest gives those with cystic fibrosis to go about their day while receiving their necessary treatments.
