| Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK’s most common,
life-threatening inherited disease. It affects over 7,500 young people
in the UK and 1 person in 25 carries the faulty gene that causes CF,
usually without knowing it.
Average life expectancy for someone with CF is just 31 and there is presently no cure. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK’s only national charity dealing with all aspects of Cystic Fibrosis. It funds research aimed at improving the symptoms of, and finding an effective treatment for, Cystic Fibrosis. It also provides information, advice and support to families across the UK and aims to ensure appropriate care for those with Cystic Fibrosis. Through running with Team CF in the BUPA Great Wales Run, or taking part in any of our other events or challenges, you are helping us to take one step closer to See Off CF. Thank you for your support - it will make a difference to over 7,500 youngsters in the UK and, ultimately, many thousands more across the world.
