We are very proud and excited to be holding the 21st Carols by Candlelight service in memory of Alice Martineau. Alice suffered a great deal in her short life, but she also achieved so much, signing her record deal with Sony and releasing her debut album Daydreams to critical acclaim in 2002. We have always hoped that what Alice went through will help make a better future for the thousands of people who suffer now from cystic fibrosis, and for their families who support and care for them.

The Alice Martineau Appeal has already raised in excess of £2 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, £100,000 of which was during the Covid emergency. My family and I hope you will be able to join us for this very special occasion as we celebrate the 21st carol service in Alice’s memory- at St Luke’s Church, Sydney Street, London.

Best wishes, Luke Martineau

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.
