Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, life-limiting genetic condition affecting Australians. 3,500 people are living with CF in Australia and 1 in 25 people carry the recessive CF gene. Babies born today with CF have a life expectancy of only 38. There is still no cure.  CF causes an abnormal build-up of thick and sticky mucus in the lungs, airways and digestive system. Treatment requires intensive daily physiotherapy to clear the lungs and airways, countless medications and frequent hospitalisations. Cystic Fibrosis Community Care (CFCC) is the peak community not for profit supporting those living with cystic fibrosis in Victoria and New South Wales. CFCC provides more than 20 essential programs and support services to people living with CF in NSW and Victoria. This includes advocacy, information, education and awareness, community and hospital support, referrals, peer and social support, community events and financial support. Less than 20% of our funding comes from Government grants which is why we rely heavily on the generosity of our community to continue to provide these services.
