Cystic FibrosIS is Shouting Loud

Cystic FibrosIS is why we’re here. Our small local Portsmouth (and Isle of Wight) Branch is rolling up its sleeves, in readiness for 2014, our 50th Anniversary.

We are part of a national charity which fights for the lives of approx 10,000 young people, through research to find a cure, the fostering of good clinical practice, and support of individual patients. In the last month local supporters have held two Christmas Fairs, and a stall at Hayling Island, raising well over £1700. Around half of the Trust’s income comes from the CF communitypeople  affected by CF, their families, friends and colleagues - and without this, the Trust would not be able to carry on its groundbreaking work. But because there are so few of us, and CF is not well known and is so demanding in time for the whole family, we really do need help to continue our work for future generations.

In preparation for next year, there is a new local facebook page:
www.facebook.com/CFPortsmouth to tell people about our activities, large and small. So please have a look at it, as well as the official site: www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk
