      People CF can’t spend time with each other because then they catch others’ bugs. I want to find a way where people can talk with each other and with researchers in CF. I want to find a way [probably over the internet – live chat or a conference in second life, something like that – what do you think would be good?] where patients can get involved without being in the same room as each other. Then they can let the researchers know what they think is important and help design research studies, and the researchers can let the patients know what they are doing and get some help to make this better. I’d use the money to get some geeky IT dude to help me make this all happen. But if there’s money left over after that – what should I do with it?
