Story

Please help Aqsa reach her target. 

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the only UK-wide charity making a daily difference to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis and those who care for them.

People with cystic fibrosis face a lifelong challenge, involving vast daily intakes of drugs, time-consuming physiotherapy and isolation from others with the condition, just to stay healthy.

1 in 25 of the UK population carries the faulty cystic fibrosis gene, most without knowing it. If two carriers have a child together there is a 1 in 4 chance the baby will be born with cystic fibrosis

babies are born each week with cystic fibrosis.

people die every week due to the condition.

50% of people with cystic fibrosis in the UK will live to celebrate their 40th birthday.

We are here to beat it, and to make a daily difference to the lives of those with cystic fibrosis and the people who care for them.

We invest in cutting-edge research, drive up standards of care, offer support for everyone affected by cystic fibrosis, and campaign hard and shout loud about the issues that matter.

Cystic fibrosis is beatable. With your support it is a battle we can win.
