Five years ago, I was too weak to walk at my local Great Strides event. My cystic fibrosis was winning. But after receiving a double-lung transplant, I was given the life I always dreamed of and now I walk proudly.

Mackenzie is a young adult who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. She underwent a double-lung transplant in 2019 and is now living her second chance at life to the absolute fullest. Because of her selfless donor, Mackenzie is now able to work again and is attending school to become an esthetician. She has a passion for creation whether it’s singing, dancing, or making YouTube videos. Mackenzie has even released a song called “Forever Changed” about her personal journey with CF and transplant. Despite the obstacles CF may throw her way, she walks through life with a smile. You can follow Mackenzie on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and her shared Instagram account with her sister Bethany.
