Nicky West’s dream is being followed by family, friends and those she inspired in her life; through Nicky’s Whisper, her voice is still heard.

In life, Nicky worked hard to tell people about Cystic Fibrosis and to raise money to fund gene therapy.  Nicky knew gene therapy would be too late for her, but wanted to help those with CF younger than her and save them the pain and troubles she had to endure.

Through Nicky’s determination and the wonderful support people have shown to Nicky’s Whisper, over £140,000 has been raised in Nicky’s name.  This money and her amazing efforts in the last few months of her life have helped us fund gene therapy research.

The scientists have now developed a product to go to clinical trials planned for 2007.  Please help us carry on Nicky’s Whisper and help us raise the £4.6 million needed to move from research to reality.

Nicky’s Whisper

Remember me as someone who laughed
Who lived in the present and not in the past
When you think of illness, don’t feel sad
Just remember the good that came from the bad

Remember my voice and songs that I sang
And speeches I gave to help people understand
I lived life to the full and had no regrets
All I ask now is one last request

Follow my dream and spread the word
And through Nicky’s whisper I’ll still be heard
