UPDATE: Referral has been sent to Duke. It is time to go for my second double lung transplant. God is good and he will pave the way.
My name is Coleman Drew. I am 26 years old, born and raised in Montgomery, AL. I have been my dad’s right-hand man at his remodeling business for years. As my health has declined, I have found a new passion in doing short hauls for people. My hobbies consist of hunting, and I love all things ATV. I was diagnosed at 18 months old with Cystic Fibrosis, spent most of my childhood in and out of the hospital setting. At the age of 15 I underwent a double lung transplant. My body took to these new lungs like God made them for me. For years I thrived. Doing the things all normal teenage boys do. Fast forward to now, I find myself in need of another double lung transplant. I am now awaiting yet another miracle that God can fit me with the perfect lungs once again.
