Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It leads to thick, sticky mucus build-up, causing severe respiratory and digestive issues. Managing CF often involves constant care, hospital visits, and in severe cases, life-saving procedures like lung transplants.

This cause is close to our hearts because of our close friend’s story. She was diagnosed with CF at age 3 and has faced a challenging journey. She spent her childhood in and out of hospitals, and as a young adult, her lung function dropped below 20%. Twelve years ago, she underwent a double lung transplant that saved her life, but she still requires regular medication and in this last year, two further surgeries.

Following scientific enhancements there are new medications can halt the progression of CF, potentially removing the need for invasive treatments like transplantation. Because these treatments are so expensive they are not accessible to everyone, which is why fundraisers like ours are so vital.

Support us in a 12-hour sponsored row! We’re hosting a day full of fun activities, competitions, and a bake sale to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis research and support. Your contributions will help us bring the latest treatments to those in need, giving people with CF a brighter future.

Together, we can make a difference! Donate now and be a part of our journey to support those with cystic fibrosis. If you can join us in the day please wear something purple 💜

Thank you for your generosity & support!
