Isabel has been an active leader for various CF and organ transplant organizations for over two decades. Isabel and her late twin published the memoir, "The Power of Two: A Twin Triumph over Cystic Fibrosis," and served as international patient advocates in her mother's country, Japan, which led to the creation of a documentary film of the same title.
