Gaining perspective through others


We all have things to learn from each other... Take Eva Markvoorts for example. As a young woman living with cystic fibrosis, she decided to write about her life in a blog she called 65_RedRoses. She also opened her life to filmmakers to document her first double-lung transplant and they in turn produced an award winning documentary by the same title. She died last month on March 27 at the age of 25 while waiting for her second double lung transplant.

Today, Eva continues to be a source of inspiration and hope because of the way that she chose to live.  Below, see Eva's message about her health status and her thoughts on life posted  to YouTube.com on February 11. She continued to blog until the morning of March 25.
