On Friday’s Morning Focus, Alan was joined live in studio by Deborah Kett who’s 20 year old daughter Hannah is living with cystic fibrosis. Deborah mentioned the importance of 65 Roses Day, which is the National Fundraising Day For Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. She discussed Hannah’s cystic fibrosis diagnosis when she was just 14 months old along with highlighting the struggles that Hannah has faced health wise from early on in her life. She placed attention on the significance of securing the kaftrio 35 drug as a result of the hard work of CF Ireland, which has significantly helped Hannah on her journey with cystic fibrosis. Deborah spoke about some of the positives that she and Hannah have experienced throughout Hannah’s cystic fibrosis journey and looked forward to bright days ahead.
Cystic Fibrosis Ireland volunteers will be out on the streets today selling purple roses in order to fundraise. Volunteers will also be present in Dunnes Stores in both Ennis and Shannon.
