As a parent of a child with cancer, I have always mainly supported this charity. It does bewilder me though, that an illness as horrible as cystic fibrosis seems to be minimalized. I am not blind to the fact that childhood cancer receives an incredible amount of support, but cystic fibrosis seems to be overlooked. I used to walk past the wards where there were children suffering from cystic fibrosis when my child was having treatment for cancer, and though my child's treatment was dreadful, I was well aware of the dreadful illness that these children were having to deal with. Cystic Fibrosis is an illness that steals the lives of sufferers at a young age, why on earth is there not more awareness and compassion for these children, and much more money to assist them. This of-course applies to older sufferers also, as the need for support with this illness in particular often increases with age. My heart goes out to people with this illness, sometimes life isn't fair!
