We are delighted to have Sandra our CF dietitan back from maternity leave and would love to officially congratulate her on the birth of her beautiful daughter Aoibhinn.

We would also love more pictures of people living their lives or doing something they love to add to our picture wall, whether that be spending time with family, playing sport, attending college/graduating, or working… whatever picture you feel expresses your life living post-transplant!”- Susan Talbot Towell, Lung Transplant/Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Nurse Specialist Mater Misericordae Hospital

My Legacy

My Legacy Month – September 2022

Making your Will and thinking about making a bequest to a charity you care about, like Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, are both things to consider during September which is - My Legacy Month.

Having a will gives you the security of knowing your loved ones will be looked after when you are gone. During My Legacy Month, you are encouraged to take the first step in creating your will by scheduling an appointment with a solicitor. Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is a member of MyLegacy.ie, who have the backing of hundreds of legal companies across the Ireland and can provide expert advice and guidance on writing a will at any time of year.

It is usually a much MORE straightforward and less expensive process than you might anticipate, and when you book your appointment, your solicitor will explain rates for drafting this crucial personal document.

After providing for family and friends and making all other critical personal decisions, opting to leave a legacy contribution to a charity, such as Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, is a wonderful way to support your favourite cause. Every legacy, no matter how large or small, is an immensely generous gift of hope and confidence for the future of people with CF in Ireland.

We recognise that leaving a legacy is a very personal decision. Some people choose to notify us that they have remembered Cystic Fibrosis Ireland in their will. Others might rather keep their desires hidden, leaving it to their executor or attorney to notify us when the time comes.
