Ryan's Story
This video features Ryan who has cystic fibrosis. Ryan deliberately chooses activities that help to alleviate his symptoms and prolong his life, from playing football to playing the trumpet, and takes precautions to keep his cystic fibrosis under control. Part of this is his morning routine, which involves spending over an hour taking medicine to stay healthy.
The video is supported by the following resources which enable the film to be used at different points in the curriculum:
* What is CF?
* Family Trees
* Making Mucus
* Screening Everyone
This resource was produced by Genetic Disorders UK, which provides schools with a host of free resources for increasing awareness and understanding of genetic disorders.
