The national awareness month derives its name from a young boy who mistook talk of his sister’s condition as 65 roses.
“Sadly, living with cystic fibrosis certainly is no bed of roses,” L.J. Hooker Cessnock and Kurri principal Bryce Gibson said.
“Cystic fibrosis is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children today.”
Cystic fibrosis, mainly affects young children causing chronic lung and digestive system problems which reduces life quality and shortens a patient’s life span. As yet there is no cure.
Each year the L.J. Hooker network offers national support calling on each and every one of its offices to help raise money into helping find a cure for the debilitating, potentially life-threatening disease.
“Giving back to the community in which live, work and play is core belief of ours and we look forward to raising much needed funds to cure this disease,” Mr. Gibson said.
To date, L.J. Hooker Cessnock and Kurri has raised more than $24,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Australia.
A barbecue and raffle will be held at the Cessnock office (93 Vincent Street) on Friday, May 29 from 11am.
