Reception for Cystic Fibrosis Guernsey

Living with CF in the Channel Islands presents a wide range of additional challenges not faced by those living with the condition in the UK.

Father Mike Read said:

"Having watched my daughter struggle through her teenage years at school, battling ill health, depression and more recently the daunting task of finding employment, with a little known and understood ‘hidden’ disability, I decided that action was required, not only to help Courtney but the youngsters who would be treading in Courtney’s footsteps. CF, particularly in the Channel Islands, can be a very isolating condition when it doesn’t need to be.

With the assistance of another Dad (who’s teenage daughter also suffers from CF) we set up Cystic Fibrosis Guernsey, becoming a registered member of the Guernsey Disability Alliance and more recently the first locally registered CF charity."
