Every four days a baby is born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is the most common life limiting genetic condition. Parents, many of whom have never even heard of the condition, unknowingly passed on the genes that caused the disease. So begins a life of battling respiratory infection, poor absorption of nutrients and chronic lethargy amongst many other symptoms. Treatment is relentless, but essential, to slow the progression of the condition. This involves up to 30 tablets per day for children and teenagers. Specially designed physiotherapy programs to minimise the damage caused by infections and special diets to ensure the body receives the nutrients it needs. Twenty years ago, most children diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis did not live into adulthood. Now, thanks to good research and excellent clinical care most children with Cystic Fibrosis do live to be adults who can hope to have a rewarding and productive young adult life. There is however no cure and this weighs heavily on the emotional health of children, teenagers, parents and their healthcare team.

Research shows that children with CF benefit from a care provided by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Unfortunately, government and health funding falls short of meeting the comprehensive needs of children with CF. Currently, several positions rely on the goodwill of kind people who support our staff in our fundraising efforts.

All generously donated funds will support

- Essential staff to ensure we continue to provide the standard of comprehensive, wholistic care that our children and families deserve.
- Research into ways we can improve care and services provided to children and families living with Cystic Fibrosis. The goal of this is to improve both physical and emotional quality of life.
- Support families who are financially vulnerable to ensure their children have access to equipment and medication that is needed for the best long-term outcomes.

We urgently need your support to continue providing these essential components of care. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by Cystic Fibrosis.
