Alice Martineau: A Musician with CF

A mini-documentary on singer-songwriter Alice Martineau (1972 - 2003), a British musician who graduated from Kings College with first class honours in English. Initially working as a model she changed direction in her mid-20s pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter instead. Her song writing was created through her love of writing, music (she played both piano and flute) as well as her personal experiences - which included living with CF.


I like to watch you from above
it's not an ordinary love
I like to feel you
so close to me
I bet I'm nearer than you'll ever see

                                                 Lyrics for Inside of You

Christina and Ali Christensen

Christina and Ali Christensen wowed audiences of the 2010 America's Got Talent with their brilliant performances. Christina, Ali and two other Christensen siblings have Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

CF usually affects the lungs so Christina and Ali have overcome many obstacles to follow their love of singing. The sisters "message is that each day is a gift where there is joy to be experienced and dreams to be realized while navigating our personal trials". [from the website]
