Chantelle de Kort and David Donohue were both diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. Last December David Donohue had a lung transplant that saved his life. Before his lung transplant, David Donohue had less than a quarter of usual lung capacity and struggled to walk to the letterbox. While they waited for the miracle drug, the siblings and their family celebrated Donohue's good health. Since his lung transplant he had put on 20kg and his lung capacity had returned to 70 per cent.
