Please help us raise as much money as we can to help fight and find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, by raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Cystic Fibrosis is the countries BIGGEST inherited life threatening disease, with no cure. Thanks to research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust new medications are continuing to be developed and improved, helping to make the somewhat short lives of a CF sufferer that little bit more promising.
The money you help us raise will help the lives of thousands and raise awareness of this disease that can so easily affect someone you know.
It affects over 8,000 people in the UK. Over 2 million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population. Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system , by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis. Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis. Average life expectancy is around 31 years, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live for longer.
Donating though JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - We raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now for such a worthy cause.
Thanks
