65_redroses
One of the things that is hard about having CF is that we are not supposed to come into contact with one another, literally, for fear of bacterial transmission.
As a result I have looked to livejournal and have joined a CF community there.
It is always great talking to others who have similar experiences.
One of those people, Eva Markvoort (from Vancouver), has documented her experience waiting and getting a double lung transplant, at 23.
Titled 65_redroses (her LJ username and a play on 65 roses, see more below) it is being featured at the Toronto International Documentary Film Festival and has been picked up the CBC's The Lens (but I can't find info for it on the website).
I hope I can get the chance to see it.
Anyone in the Toronto area should go see this in May. I am sure it will bring tears to your eyes but also educate and inspire.
