Meet Gary Reay - a 26 year old who grew up in Ireland with cystic fibrosis.
- He plays soccer and boxes - generally trying to get to the gym at least 4 days a week with his friends - and also loves music and DJing.
- After 19 years without an extended stay at the doctor's, Gary fell ill and was hospitalized for 6 weeks.
- During that time, he lost a great deal of weight - leading him to the decision to get a feeding tube.
- He uses his feeding tube every night and has seen a major change in his ability to retain weight and has much higher energy levels.
