Cystic Fibrosis Dress Red Fundraiser Day

Today students were allowed to wear a red shirt and bring a gold coin donation to support Cystic Fibrosis. The whole school raised $720!! Well done!! We have two students in Room 23 who have personal experience of CF. Abbey's little sister has it and Asher's uncle has had a lung transplant because of the disease. Abbey has written a little piece below about what her sister goes through.
Asher gave a presentation about how CF affects the lungs and about his uncle's lung transplant. He also showed what healthy lungs should look like.
We watched a Youtube video called "Getting Nosey about CF" which explained CF in an understandable way.
