Video Description

From the outside, Meg seems like a typical 24-year-old. She has a fulltime job and is in a happy long-term relationship. But Meg is living with Cystic Fibrosis. This incurable genetic condition makes every breath difficult, but Meg is determined to conquer Mt Kilimanjaro – a mission that the healthiest and fittest shy away from. If Meg reaches the summit, she will make history as the first Australian with Cystic Fibrosis to achieve the feat. This story originally aired 20 October 2019. *Connect with 7NEWS Spotlight online* *Visit »* https://7news.com.au/spotlight *7NEWS Spotlight Podcast »* http://smarturl.it/7NewsSpotlight *Facebook »* https://www.facebook.com/7newsSpotlight/ *Instagram »* https://instagram.com/7newsSpotlight/ 7NEWS combines the trusted and powerful news brands including Sunrise, The Morning Show and 7NEWS.com.au, delivering unique, engaging and continuous coverage on the issues that matter most to Australians.
