On March 27, 2010, Eva Markvoort, 25, former Miss New Westminster and University of Victoria theatre student lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis.
While she was battling with the rare genetic disease that causes mucus to accumulate in the lungs, Markvoort fearlessly took up blogging to share her last few days with the world.
“Hello to the world at large…To my blog, to my friends, to everyone. I have some news today. It’s kinda tough to hear, but I can say it with a smile…My life is ending.” (Death at 25: Blogging the end of a life, CNN).
