About this listen

 Recent Kansas State graduate Joe Tillery was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was an infant, and his life expectancy meant he wouldn't live to attend college. He did, benefiting from advances in medicine and a positive spirit to live beyond the years of most patients of this deadly disease. Now 25, Tillery finds himself in the hospital less and living life more, including his passion for sharing his thoughts about Kansas State sports on his YouTube channel. Tillery, like Fitz, is living beyond his life expectancy, so call it stolen, borrowed, or earned extra time; passing that expiration date is liberating. After a year in Minnesota with his fiancée, Lauren, Tillery has returned to the Kansas City area to live a life beyond what medicine expected for most of his life. *** Blueville Nursery in Manhattan, Kansas, sponsors the Life of Fitz podcast. *** Tim Fitzgerald is a sports journalist who writes, appears on TV and radio, produces daily YouTube videos, and is a long-time podcaster. He has served as the publisher of GoPowercat.com, a website focused on Kansas State sports, for over 25 years. Fitz also has metastatic Stage Four prostate cancer, so during the initial stages of the pandemic, his doctors advised him to stay home and lie low. Now, after a brief period of remission, Fitz is back in the fight for his life, but this podcast lives on. Welcome to his life and the Life of Fitz podcast.
