Kayla Baker, 14, has her green and pink dress all ready for her Grade 8 graduation. When she grows up, she wants to be a nurse or a physiotherapist. But first she needs a double lung transplant.

Baker was diagnosed with fibrosis, a chronic disease that causes swelling and scarring of the lung tissue, and has been on the transplant list for over a year. On May 31, she helped organize an organ transplant awareness day at her school, St. Michael Catholic School in Cambridge, Ont.
