The Nelson Marlborough Branch supports people with CF and families in their region and can provide assistance with information, welfare issues, equipment such as nebulisers, emotional and financial assistance as well as a listening ear.
Our branch holds fundraising events each year to raise the funds required to provide these support services. We are always on the lookout for volunteers, so if you are interested please get in touch.

Life for people with CF is a daily struggle for survival, copious medication, physiotherapy and frequent hospitalisations. Most people with CF and their families will tell you apart from the obvious dream of a cure, their dearest wish is most often simply for a ‘normal’ life. As a branch, we try and make the everyday easier, by providing a number of support services to people with CF and their families.
Hi, I'm Rachel and I am a mum of two daughters. My youngest daughter has CF and is currently 11 years old. This diagnosis led me to become involved with the Nelson branch. I am currently the branch secretary.
Hi, I'm Graeme and I have CF. I am 46 years old, married to Dorothy and we have two teenagers. We have been involved in the Nelson Branch committee off and on over the years and fully appreciate the support branches and CFNZ provide. We as a family make the most of every day we are blessed with.
I am a proud Mum of two young adult children. My 26 year old son has CF which led me to become involved with the committee early on in our journey. I am passionate that everyone living with CF and their families have a voice, equal opportunities and all the support they need to live every moment.
