Скачать или смотреть Beyond Survival: Kirsty’s New Life

Living with cystic fibrosis has shaped every part of Kirsty’s life. For years, her days were measured by treatments, infections, and the expectation that time would be short. But medicine is shifting what once felt certain. New therapies are giving people like Kirsty more years—years to study, to build dreams, to live beyond survival.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, requiring daily vigilance and resilience. For young people with CF, support is everything—especially from loved ones who carry the unseen work of care: managing medications, navigating hospitals, and holding hope through uncertainty. Their presence offers safety when the future feels fragile.

In episode five of Before We Go, Kirsty shares how this illness has taught her to hold both vulnerability and strength—and how the steady support of family can make all the difference.
