Diane Shader Smith wrote a beautiful article commemorating the two-year anniversary of her daughter Mallory’s passing. Mallory passed away due to drug-resistant Burkholderia and cystic fibrosis. Diane remarks that Mallory's legacy lives on both through her writing and through phage therapy, which might have saved her if she'd had more time. Mallory's father Mark envisions a day where kids with CF can receive phage therapy before infections destroy their lungs. The Smith family made the inaugural donation to UCSD's IPATH in 2018.
