Cystic Fibrosis Trust publishes 60th anniversary edition of CF Life magazine
Throughout the issue, we reflect on some of the breakthroughs and challenges of the past six decades, and look to the future, and our commitment to ensure every person with CF in the UK can live a life unlimited.
David Ramsden, Chief Executive at the Trust, said: “We know that much progress has been made in the past 60 years, but we also know that there is so much more to do. Together, as a united community, we are working every day to get closer to a life unlimited. We won’t stop until CF does.”
Our cover story is an interview with supporter and involvement group member, Rob. Rob has CF and first featured on the cover of CF Life predecessor, CF News, as a 6 year old boy to mark the Trust’s 30th anniversary. 30 years later and he’s now sharing his story in the new issue.
“Being involved in the Trust’s 60th anniversary has made me reflect on just how different the CF landscape is today than in 1994. I’m looking forward to the next 30 years and being involved in the 90th anniversary!” Rob said.

Read more about some of the key events in our history
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.
Since 1964, we've supported people with cystic fibrosis to live longer, healthier lives – and we won’t stop until everyone can live without limits imposed by CF.
If you’re struggling with any aspect of cystic fibrosis, we’re here to help. Contact our Helpline for support, a listening ear or just someone to talk to.
