Story

I'm Sorry, I am not climbing a mountain or shaving my head, I am just excited by the scientific progress and want to help, have a read below.  Love Cya, Keith and Eve x

6 weeks to raise £6 million The CF Trust has launched a campaign to raise £6 million in just six weeks to fund the innovative gene therapy trial. Thousands of people living with the genetic condition, Cystic Fibrosis (CF), may be given the opportunity to enjoy a better quality of life if this new innovative gene therapy trial goes ahead and proves successful.

The UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium, funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, has been working for ten years to find a way of inserting a healthy gene into a CF patient's lungs to ensure that the damaging effects of the faulty CF gene are stopped in their tracks. They are now at an exciting stage and are ready to test the product on patients in a multi-dose clinical trial which aims to determine whether this new treatment works. The charity is pushing to raise the £6 million needed to fund the trial.
