Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening disease which affects between 8-10,000 people within the UK. Patients suffer from frequent lung infections and severe breathing difficulties which result in regular medication and often frequent hospital visits. Dream Holidays was founded 18 years ago and now provides respite holidays for over 120 families per year within the UK who have been severely affected by having a child with Cystic Fibrosis. It can often be difficult both financially and logistically to take a holiday. Dream Holidays fully co-ordinate and take care of all arrangements which results in a rest for the whole family. The Foundation awarded a grant of £1,050 in May to send a family from Bristol on holiday this summer.
