Description

When your parents tell you you'll be the exception to CF's cruel rules, you either sink or swim - Madison MacGregor chose to freestyle. When doctors couldn't halt her declining health, Madison went rogue - ditching the CF diet for squash and alternative treatments until she weighed just 88 pounds. From competitive dancing with an IV to battling her medical team at every turn, this self-proclaimed "geriatric Gen Z-er" shares her unconventional journey through CF. But the real twist? Sometimes surviving isn't the hardest part - it's figuring out who you are when death is no longer knocking at your door.
