Tyrus Sleightholme

Age 19, Victoria, British Columbia

My name is Tyrus Sleightholme. I am 19 years old and was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when I was about two weeks old.

Cystic fibrosis occurs when a child inherits two defective copies of the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (one from each parent).
