ABOUT Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

- Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease.

- Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic
Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.

- Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive
system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe
and digest food.

- Cystic Fibrosis affects over 8,000 people in the UK.

- The average life expectancy is around 31 years.
