Bio

Jackie Bessette is wife to CF patient Danny Bessette. Married in July 2010, Danny and Jackie have navigated a relationship with Cystic Fibrosis, a double lung transplant, and now advanced lung disease complications. Although this road has not been easy, it has developed the strength of their marriage, faith, and determination to live life as purposely and fully as possible. They reside in Ashburn, Virginia where they both enjoy careers in industries they are passionate about, are entertained by the antics of their dog, Quinlan, and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first baby in March. You can follow their journey from pre-transplant to now on Jackie’s blog Have A Little Faith in We and they both enjoy sharing their story and providing support for the CF community through their work with the CF Foundation and Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA).
