Empathy is the starting point for creating a community and taking action. It's the impetus for creating change.

Personally, I had a close friend with cystic fibrosis. I won't ever forget how he handled himself. In the face of extreme challenges and very harrowing circumstances, he maintained a positive outlook and was just very dignified, even in his suffering.

While there is no cure, cystic fibrosis is so close to being a livable disease. There is a lot of hope.

I think the main thing is to find something you care about. A cause. I think it starts with others. Who do you look up to? Who do you want to help? Start in your own community.

Getting anything off the ground is going to require a little bit of risk. That risk starts with sharing the idea.

The name 'Reflect It Back' comes from the idea of not only giving back but also seeing yourself in someone else.
