Last year the Club's main fund-raising was in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Cystic Fibrosis is one of the UK's most common, life-threatening, inherited diseases. Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis and each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis. | ||
