INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARITY WE SUPPORT

About Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition that relentlessly affects many parts of the body but primarily impacting the lungs and digestive system, characterised by the production of thick, sticky mucus. Despite significant strides in medical advancements, CF remains an incurable disease, imposing a lifelong burden on those diagnosed with it.

Currently, over 115 Tasmanians navigate the daily challenges of living with CF.

For individuals living with CF, each day is a testament to resilience and unwavering determination. Their lives are shaped by a relentless cycle of treatments and therapies aimed at managing symptoms and preserving lung function and overall health. With other co-morbidities including sinus disease, liver disease, bone disease, CF related diabetes, mental health issues, all potentially in addition for individuals with CF to navigate.

The journey with CF extends far beyond individual efforts. Regular visits to CF clinics are essential, where a dedicated team of healthcare professionals provides comprehensive care tailored to each patient's unique needs. From CF physicians and other specialists, nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, and social workers, this collaborative approach ensures that individuals with CF receive the holistic support required to navigate the complexities of their condition.

With new modular therapies now available, for those able to access these, there is improved health outcomes being seen. However the burden of CF remains, the uncertainty and unpredictable nature of the condition, alongside the fact these medications are groundbreaking with still only an infancy of research available. Individuals with CF are navigating unchartered territory with cautious optimism and hope for the future.
