Get your running friends together for a Strawfie today!

Are you meeting your running buddies at a race or training session today? Runners are being asked to take part in the Breathe-With-Me-Strawfie-Challenge in order to spread awareness about cystic fibrosis and help raise funds for vital research.

For people with cystic fibrosis, running can be a critical component of their daily physiotherapy, helping them in their lifelong battle against the disease.

However, exercise is just a small part of the daily regime for those living with cystic fibrosis.  For most that regime will include antibiotics, vitamins, physiotherapy, taking enzymes with every meal (in order to be able to digest fats), plus regular clinic visits and hospitalisations.  Even then many will struggle to maintain a normal lung function.
