CF Awareness Month

Supporting people living with cystic fibrosis

Every member of the CF community lives their own unique experience of cystic fibrosis, from parents navigating a diagnosis of their newborn, to those not able to access or benefit from newer treatments, and people who've had a transplant.

A lot has happened over the last 12 months and while significant progress has been made, we’re reminded daily that the challenges of navigating CF can be cruel, and they haven’t gone away.

“CF causes so much destruction and devastation for people affected by it, it is never ending, physically consuming, and soul destroying. While Trikafta is a massive step forward for our CF community, we must wrap our support around families as they continue their tumultuous journey.”

The unpredictability of CF means that things can change very quickly and I’ve had to learn to enjoy life’s little moments when things are going well to make up for the times that are more challenging.
