ALFINATORS ARE BACK - I WILL BE WALKING 65 KMs AROUND NARRABEEN LAKE TO RAISE MONEY FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS AND TO FIND A CURE!

Our Story
In early 2017 our son Alfie was born. He was taken straight to Westmead Children's Hospital with a hole in his bowel which is a symptom of the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. They operated immediately and he then recovered in the Grace Ward at the Children's Hospital for the next 5 weeks. While he was there he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.
Since recovering from his operations Alfie has gone from strength to strength. 5 years since he was born and he is an awesome, determined and happy little soul. This year he is going to preschool 3 days a week which is exciting.

Cystic Fibrosis is part of our lives now and the daily treatments of physio, antibiotics and nebulizer are our day to day routine.
We are eternally grateful for the amazing work done by the doctors, nurses and caregivers at the Children's Hospital throughout this time and during Alfie's ongoing treatment. The support and care given for Alfie and our family has been amazing throughout a very difficult and emotional time.

Cystic Fibrosis is a chronic genetic disease that effects the lungs and digestive system of sufferers dramatically reducing their life expectancy. The average life expectancy for people suffering from CF is 40years with lung failure the primary cause of death.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CURE FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
Cystic Fibrosis Community Care is an amazing charity and all of the money raised goes to supporting CF sufferers and finding a cure. Please help us help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about Cystic Fibrosis Community Care, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
