Young was born and raised in Hamilton and talked about how his Cystic Fibrosis â€" a chronic disease of the mucous glands â€" had little effect on his life until he reached his late teen years. The energetic Hamilton man poured out his gratitude to the people in his life who provided support in the months and years prior to his lifeâ€" saving transplant, including the volâ€" unteers from the Lung Association. "I‘m a concrete example of the work the association has done, and I thank all of you very much." The Lung Association pays for education programs and research into diseases of the lunes. "Today, my life is wonderful. I have few physical restrictions and I work out regularly," said Young, guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Lung Association, Halton Region in Burlington, Tuesday. which he‘s ever been. a toybox of ideas! After one false alarm when lungs became available, but were deemed unsuitable just prior to transplant, a suitable donor was found in Thunder Bay, in May of 1992. The transplant was a success, and his body hasn‘t rejected the new lungs, removed from a 25â€"yearâ€"old male who was declared brain dead following a shooting incident. Since the operation, Scott said he‘s felt strong and healthy, and is writing a book about his experience. While he still has CF, the transplant has meant the end of his suffering, and he actively encourages people to agree to contribute their organs after death. "Not everyone does as well as I have, so it‘s important that a cure be found," he said, noting that many people still die at young ages from the disease. "They‘ve isolated the gene that causes it; I‘m confident there will be a cure found soon." will be held Friday, May 27th, 7:30 to 9:30 pm During the first few months waitâ€" ing for his transplant, Scott saw his marriage fall apart. When he wasn‘t in hospital, he was forced to take an oxygen machine with him, so he just remained in his apartment. Then he met a woman who loved and supported him, and saw him for the person he was before he lost weight and lived next to an oxygen tank. "She saw what was inside me, and raised my spirits." In his despondent state, he remembers the feeling of irony when he reached for a newspaper and saw a story on his childhood friend and sports rival, Allan Bester, playing in the NHL. By contrast, Scott was only able to watch hockey on television, and come to grips with his own morâ€" tality. But his attitude and outlook soon changed. His mother left the family busiâ€" ness in Colorado to return to Hamilton and help nurse him. A transplant support group gave him comfort. without a double lung transplant, he couldn‘t survive. "It was like someâ€" one hit me with a ton of bricks," he said. (formerly "The Best of the 0.A.S.") to Saturday, June 4th (inclusive) Oakville Art Society Office â€" 827â€"5711 P.O.
