“I'd just like to say thanks to you guys for raising awareness for CF. It’s great to know at least some people know what it means! I'm really open about my CF and think it's great that we can get the message out into the community. I love being different to everyone else and I know that in a lot of ways I'm so much luckier than many of my peers. I've learnt to be patient, tolerant and take everything in my stride. Along with my friends and family, its organisations like this that remind you why you get up each day. Thanks so much your work is truly appreciated.”
