Cystic Fibrosis (CF) isn’t just a lung disease, it’s a multi organ disease that affects just about every function of the body and still there is no cure.
There are new developments in medications which are hugely improving their day-to-day life, however a cure is essential for longevity and quality of life.
You can’t always see the impact of CF on the outside but for our CF warriors, they are always fighting a battle that is often invisible.
Daily medications and physiotherapy, and many doctor and hospital visits.
This May, Cystic Fibrosis awareness month, consider a disease that you cannot always see, but always has a huge impact on the individual fighting the fight every single day with no cure.
When you have a cold or the flu this season, consider those symptoms, as they can often be how a CF sufferer feels on a daily basis – congested, short of breath and tired just to name a few.
As with the past 20 years, Judy Farley, grandmother to local Courtney who is a fierce warrior of CF, will be holding her annual fundraising raffle at Foodworks with all proceeds going directly to Cystic Fibrosis Australia.
