Next up from our TEDXCDA 2020 Talks:

On March 21, 2018, the community of Coeur d’Alene was shocked and saddened by the news that beloved high school principal and Saprina's husband, Troy Schueller, had committed su***de. Following the loss of her best friend and husband, Saprina struggled to put together the pieces of the puzzle that led to Troy’s death and to rebuild her life for herself, her children, and grandchildren. After eighteen months and at the encouragement of her therapist, she wrote a blog post called “Troy’s Story” in an effort to "accept" her loss. Saprina now uses her experience to bring about much needed social change in the areas of su***de awareness, concussions, CTE, opioid addictions, privacy laws, and mental health.

"The FDA just approved a cocktail that effectively treats 90% of the Cystic fibrosis patients..."
"When nearing the end of a race you don't slow down to admire the finish line, you step on the gas. Until we have an effective treatment for 100% of the cystic fibrosis population, we won't stop."
