Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser tomorrow morning
Guest speaker will be Dr Desmond Cox, of Our Lady’s Hospital, Crumlin. The event runs from 11am–1pm, all welcome.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system. Ireland has the highest incidence of Cystic Fibrosis in the world — approximately one in 19 Irish people are said to 'carry' one copy of the altered gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis. Despite having such a high occurrence of the disease, we have one of the lowest investments in medical care and research in Europe.
