The story of MacKenzie

Meet MacKenzie, who had a normal delivery but within 8 hours after delivery was struggling to breathe. After having at least one ear infection a month, bronchitis every quarter and pneumonia twice a year for the first several years of life…6 surgeries later, received a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia. MacKenzie will be 12 years old this year and loves robotics, computers and reading.
