We are supporting three charities that directly affect members of our junior club. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is one of them, Matt on of our superstar juniors has CF.

Cystic Fibrosis is a condition where the mucus in the lungs and other organs is so thick and sticky that people with CF have regular infections and inpatient stays (Matt has had 6 in his life) and can
struggle to clear their lungs. 30 years ago people with CF were advised not to take part in sport and PE because it could damage their lungs! At this time people with CF had a very low life expectancy.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is a fantastic charity and they have used their donations to date to research the best ways to treat CF and they now understand that the best thing for people with CF is to do
more sport as it clears their lungs! Now people with CF can excel at sport like everyone else and Matt loves it! We still have to undergo thorough physio and treatment every morning and night and
Matt takes about 25 tablets a day! The CF Trust are now spending their donations on research for a cure so any money raised really will change lives! Please give whatever you can to support this fantastic charity which is very close to our hearts!

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.
