This week’s guest - Sophie Grace Holme
Sophie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis aged 4 months old and unlike my other guests so far, and me, has only ever known a life with her condition.
She was told she wouldn’t live beyond 16 but her whole life, she has consistently refused to listen to Doctors when they placed limitations on her life. She went past 16 with no issues and after being only given a few years to live at age 19, she again ignored all Dr’s advice, continuing to believe she would live an amazing life and she has certainly followed through on that promise to herself.
Since that point, she has challenged herself and her body to do things any “normal” person would find impossible - hiking the Himalayas, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Gran Paradiso, running an ultra marathon, paddle-boarding 80 miles in the ocean overnight and so much more....
She really is the embodiment of what this podcast is all about. Had she listened to the negativity being sent her way, she could have lived a scared and uneventful life yet she’s managed to live more in the 27 years she’s been on the planet than most will ever so in their lifetime
