Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month
Slappa’s Thongs & Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a cause very close to our hearts and this month we are proud to be joining the #CFArmy to help spread awareness of CF by donating $5 from every pair of Slappa’s purchased online
What Is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited disease affecting the developed world, with one in every 2,500 children affected. It is a multi-organ disease, affecting the lungs, gut, liver, pancreas and reproductive tissues. At present, about half of those with CF will die before they are 50 from lung disease. Lung disease is the cause of death in over 90% of CF patients.
Although there has been recent advancement in treatments, these treatments do not work for everyone with CF.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO CURE.
