22. Bradley Dryburgh - Changing the Cystic Fibrosis narrative

Inspirational Tales

My guest on this episode is Bradley Dryburgh. Bradley was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that the first specialist his parents took him to as a baby, said would ruin his life. Luckily, his parents chose to find a different specialist, one with a more positive and hopeful outlook instead and this set Bradley up with the positivity and zest for life that he has today. Cystic Fibrosis has definitely not ruined Bradley's life, in fact he sees it as a badge of honour that has helped him build resilience and the ability to overcome any challenge that life throws at him. In this interview, Brad shares his life story from his amazing childhood to his first Cystic Fibrosis challenges as a young adult and how his hospital stays gave him a new perspective on life. Bradley is also a fellow podcaster and he explains how he went from being uninspired at work to following his passion for podcasting and storytelling. He also takes us through his journey from hating long distance running to running marathons to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Australia. Bradley is inspiring young children with Cystic Fibrosis all over the country by showing them that anything in life is possible. His positivity and go getter attitude is second to none and it definitely rubbed off on me whilst speaking to him and I'm sure it will for you too.
