Melissa Pappageorgas is a 33-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis. Diagnosed as a teenager with CF, Melissa enjoyed relatively good health into her twenties. As her health initially declined, Melissa found both physical and mental strength in physical exercise – specifically surfing. In 2015 Melissa had a double lung transplant. Her recovery has not been easy, but once again, Melissa is finding strength in the waves.
Filmed and recorded by Brandon Delgado and Alana de Ocampo.
