Cystic fibrosis girl’s transplant hopes dashed

Orla Tinsley, a campaigner for people with cystic fibrosis, thought her wait for a double lung transplant was over last weekend. But it was not to be.

On Saturday, Orla happily tweeted that she had got “the call” and asked her thousands of followers to keep her in their thoughts. “I am not afraid,” she wrote.

However, five hours later, she tweeted again.
