TLC Documents Love on the Transplant List with 'Breathless Bride: Dying to Live"

TLC: Robert Seidman
Vis Press Release

BREATHLESS BRIDE: DYING TO LIVE premieres Wednesday, February 29 on TLC

(Los Angeles, CA) – Every day, three people on the organ transplant waiting list die in the UK. TLC captures the courageous story of a Cystic Fibrosis sufferer as she awaits a double lung transplant while planning her dream wedding in an all-new special BREATHLESS BRIDE: DYING TO LIVE, premiering February 29 at 10/9c. 

Kirstie Mills has always known that her life would be short; born with Cystic Fibrosis, her name was added to the transplant waiting list in March 2011 after she was informed by doctors that without new lungs, she may only have six months to live. As her health rapidly declined, Kirstie had to decide whether to rest and wait for the lung transplant or to live her life, however long it would last.
