eLuckyfocus: Living Life Breathlessly

 
The SA Blog Awards brought to my attention a beautiful blog that I’d never seen before.

Living Life Breathlessly won Best Undiscovered Blog — understatement of the year!

Alice Vosloo is a 23-year-old Joburger with cystic fibrosis, who until recently was living on IVs, nebulizers and oxygen, waiting for a double lung transplant. She started blogging in December of last year as a way of letting friends and family know how she was doing.

Read her blog and learn about facing life head-on without breath and still kicking butt (in her Lara Croft outfit). And meet those who love Alice — her parents, her friends, her sister and her kitty Emma, who she calls the bitchy, weird cat!

In late January, Alice received her new lungs and is slowly, slowly getting stronger. Yesterday she ran — for the first time in five years!

As Alice notes in her blog header, “life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.” Never has that saying been more true of anyone.

Go Alice! I can see that girl running a marathon and travelling the world.
