Well, what a phenomenal SWEATEMBER it has been!
We want to say a huge THANK YOU to our incredible sweating superstars…
This month 324 of you committed to a SWEATY activity, and together have raised over $164,000 for Cystic Fibrosis NZ. Your SWEAT provides personalised support, whether it is emotional guidance, practical advice, or financial assistance, to individuals and their families throughout their journey. It provides medical equipment, vouchers during hospitalisations, and advocacy services to secure cutting-edge medicines such as Trikafta.
You, along with all our supporters and sponsors are our CHAMPIONS!
It’s really exciting seeing the amount fundraised climb each day, knowing the huge impact it will have on the lives of our people living with CF, and their whānau.
We can guarantee your SWEAT has never meant so much.
