SAN DIEGO, CA. (THECOUNT) — Inspirational speaker Claire Wineland has lost her battle with Cystic fibrosis, reports fox8.
Wineland, 21, passed away Sunday evening after being removed from life support and using the newly transplanted lungs she received just one week earlier. The cause of death was listed as a massive stroke suffered soon after the transplant surgery.
In late May, she made the list and shared the exciting news with her social media followers who dot the globe. But then, a mix of health and life complications took a toll and knocked her off the list, temporarily. By mid-August, she was back on and feeling ready.
Before signing off for the final time, Wineland implored viewers to do one thing.
“Go enjoy your life. Really. I mean that seriously,” she said with her signature smile and laugh, her eyes not yet dry. “Go enjoy it, ’cause there are people fighting like hell for it.”
