"He lived his life to the fullest. Even before his transplant, he lived on the edge, often saying “we know skateboarding /snowboarding /mountain biking /or whatever he felt an urge to conquer, isn’t going to be what kills me.

When he was 21, Vincent met the love of his life, Kathleen (Kat). She gave Vincent something to live for and soon, he asked her to marry him.

Cystic Fibrosis was slowly robbing him of life, but Kat gave him a reason to keep fighting. Together, they embarked on the lifesaving journey of a double-lung transplant. That journey was full of challenges."

- Gina Champagne, Mother
