Second Wind is a documentary short film about pulmonary fibrosis patient and double-lung transplant recipient Nick Brown. Nick was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis at the very young age of 36 and within a year was in need of a double-lung transplant just to survive. As he laid in his hospital bed recovering from the surgery he realized he'd taken too much for granted and wanted to use this second chance at life to bring awareness for pulmonary fibrosis and organ donation to as many people as possible. That's when he discovered "Skoolies," school buses converted to mobile homes. Nick bought a Skoolie, converted it into a home and also turned it a rolling billboard for his awareness blog www.borrowedbreaths.com. 

This film was sponsored by Three Lakes Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and accelerating therapies for pulmonary fibrosis. The film was produced LungStory, a project focused on increasing awareness of respiratory health symptoms and the importance of seeking medical attention to receive an accurate diagnosis.
