Everyone benefits from sports, but for the CF (cystic fibrosis) patients in our care, sport is a chance to save each one's life and to prolong it for years to come. Our Foundation takes care of children and adults with CF. Each day of their lives is a struggle to make it to the next day. Every day, thick sputum is formed in their lungs, and it is crucial to cough it up to avoid aggravation of the disease and resulting hospitalization. To avoid the recurrent aggravation of the disease, they need to make great daily efforts – take medicines, do inhalations, exercise and practice breathing.  

 Sports and movement play a crucial part in their lives. For CF patients, sport is a daily, lifelong must that helps increase the lung volume, sustains healthy respiratory system and helps their bodies receive so-needed oxygen. Also, physical exercises help clear the lungs, driving the mucus from the airways.

 Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, they are not able to attend gyms, because every virus for them could be lethal. Therefore, we would like to buy treadmills for the most active of our patients – this way they could exercise at home without having to interrupt their physical activity. Would you please support them in this? Even in the case of incurable disease, it is possible to live a high-quality, fulfilling life thanks to treatment and exercising. Let them exercise and breathe freely!
