Trevor, a professional photographer and person with CF, takes us on a journey through the emotions of living with a lifelong condition, asking what it feels like to survive in a world that often overlooks your needs, where everything has a cost, even the breath in your lungs.
Many thanks to Kerry Libraries, nd the team at Killarney for launching the Cost of Breathing Exhibition. CFI and Trevor OโDonoghue of Radharc, are now proud to bring this powerful, insightful exhibition to Westside Library Galway from now until the 8th March.
