Diane Shader Smith is the mother of Mallory Smith, the 25-year-old who passed away in 2017 from an antibiotic resistant lung infection. Diane has given a TEDx talk (14 min) about Mallory's life, legacy and memoir: Salt in My Soul. Diane describes their family's efforts to promote and raise funds (so far $5 million+ for research, plus all Salt in My Soul profits to be donated) for cystic fibrosis and phage therapy, so they can save other lives.
