St. Patrick's Griffith - Supporting Cystic Fibrosis

By St. Patrick's Griffith

We are raising funds for the CF Clinic at Westmead Children's!

Join us and help raise money to support an amazing organisation, the CF Clinic at Westmead Children's Hospital from 1st May to 31st May 2025.

Funds raised will help our patients to continue to have access to the psychologist at our clinic into the future.

Throughout the month of May we are raising awareness at school about Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that mainly affects the lungs and digestive system. It causes thick, sticky mucus to develop, which can cause infections and problems with digesting food.

Genetic conditions are caused by a change in a particular gene that gets passed down from parents to children. 

In cystic fibrosis, there is a change to the gene that helps to control the amount of salt and water in cells. This makes mucus in the lungs and digestive system thicker and sticker than normal.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic condition in Australia. While there is currently no cure, new treatments are being developed that are improving the lives of babies, children, and adults with cystic fibrosis.
