When did you realize that you weren't like other people with cystic fibrosis? That's such a great question because there are a few answers to that. I was born into this incredible family so he say that literally the greatest gift and blessing I ever received was two incredible parents. My sister loved adored me and admired me so much that she would have to have strawberry or orange vitamins so that she could be like her older brother. So for me, this self-esteem was built that I don't have to look at this any differently. And in fact, I've been told there's all these things I shouldn't be able to do, but I'm able to do them.
In 2020, Bradley found himself questioning death. He was 24 and lying in hospital bed with bleeding lungs caused by his condition, cystic fibrosis.
