My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

Please read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

15 members of Waterford Gardai and Waterford Marine Search and Rescue are Kayaking 65 Miles from Wexford to Wales in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland.

All the funds raised will stay in Waterford and will go directly towards setting up a dedicated unit at Waterford Regional Hospital in Ardkeen with two ensuite rooms. The projected cost of setting up this unit will be approximately €200,000 and we would greatly appreciate all donations and support.


Many thanks in advance for your support,
Best Regards,
Alan Magner

About my charity

Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland

The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland, which is totally dependent on fundraising and voluntary donations, is the body responsible for the provision of a wide range of services to the Cystic Fibrosis community in the Republic of Ireland.

We provide:

  • Assistance, financial or otherwise, to persons with cystic fibrosis and their families
  • Funding for medical research into the cause and cure of this incurable disease
  • Funding of specialist multidisciplinary posts in hospitals throughout Ireland
  • Campaigning and lobbying at political level for improved treatments and facilities for persons suffering with cystic fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is Ireland's most common genetically inherited disease.  In ireland, we have the highest incidence of the disease in the developed world, with 1 in 19 members of the population being carriers of the recessive CF gene. It is when two carriers of the recessive gene parent a child together, there is a 1 in 4 risk of the child having the disease. There is no cure at present for this disease.
