Joanne Mellady was diagnosed with a rare genetic lung disorder when she was in her 30s. As she waited for a transplant, she dreamed and planned. “She had a bucket list of everything she was going to do when she got her lungs,” said her sister. Mellady received a double lung transplant in 2007, and for the next dozen years, she lived every day like it was her last.
