Born in 1972, Luke Peters was diagnosed with the chronic and life-limiting condition cystic fibrosis. His parents were told it was likely that he would spend much of his childhood in hospital and would be lucky to reach his teenage years.Almost 50 years later, Luke is still alive, still fending off the impacts of this disease with one hand whilst grabbing life and all that it has to offer with the other. With a steadfast resolve to fulfil his ambitions and a determination not to let cystic fibrosis define him, Luke has filled his life with achievements that few would have predicted possible at his birth. With two academic degrees under his belt, successful careers both in aviation and as a lawyer, time spent living both in France and the United States as well as travels to over forty countries worldwide, a pilot’s licence and two healthy children, Luke has always aimed to take as much out of life as possible before the ravages of cystic fibrosis take the life out of him.From amazing highs to the very depths of sadness and on more than one occasion when he has almost lost his life, Luke’s book describes in vivid detail the twists and turns that he has endured during his life so far. Now facing the proposition of a double lung transplant, which could save his life but could also end it, Luke describes the events that have brought him to this point, how he has dealt with each of them and how he has continuously strived to live his life to be just the same as everyone else, whilst accepting that it is okay to be different.’Coughing It All Up’ is a testament to the power of a positive outlook, and will have you smiling, laughing and crying in equal measure. A share of the proceeds from the book will go to CF-related charities. 3
