'Thanks to my organ donor, I live again'
She was 32 and not expecting to reach her mid-30s: cystic fibrosis had destroyed her lungs. Then, early one morning, a phone call came that would change her life
"As I get stronger, the full horror of what my family were living through before the transplant has hit home. It became routine to normalise every decline in my health, until it seemed acceptable to spend most days in bed on oxygen, too exhausted to do much but breathe. It is only just sinking in that my donor really did save my life. My gratitude is immeasurable."
