Since 1964
We won't stop until CF does. With your support, we can get closer to a life unlimited.
For 60 years we've worked together, sharing moments of frustration, despair and hope, overcoming challenges, and celebrating breakthroughs. Always learning and moving forward.
It’s thanks for our incredible supporters, clinicians, researchers, and social workers that over the last 60 years we’ve been able to make vital breakthroughs and discoveries in CF understanding and treatment.
But the journey’s not over yet. Be part of the future by getting involved with our activities to recognise our 60th year.

#CFTruths
People with CF never get a day off.
Improvements over the past 60 years have made life better for many, but as old problems diminish, they can bring new challenges and fears. And there still is no cure.
That’s why we won’t stop until CF does.
