As a child, Stephanie was diagnosed with Idiopathic Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, a disease which caused high blood pressure in her lungs and the same disease that her brother passed away from when he was only 5 years old. In 2018, following a deterioration in her health, she became the recipient of a double lung transplant.

In this interview Stephanie discusses how having Primary Pulmonary Hypertension affected her life as a child and young adult. She explains the process of receiving her double lung transplant and why, following her transplant, she decided to help Donate Life raise awareness for organ donations. Since receiving her transplant, Steph has learnt to live her life to the full and she hopes to continue to do this for many years go come.
