The Tracie Lawlor Trust for Cystic Fibrosis was set up in Wexford, Ireland, at the start of 2008 after the death of Tracie Lawlor (24) after a life long battle with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). It is the brainchild of Tracie's Mam & brother's Joseph & Brian. Since then it has grown immensely across Wexford, the South East and Ireland. With the support of many people we have being able to grow and provide for our Cf's. We are here to help all people with Cf in Ireland as much as we can, so please don't hesitate to contact us.

The Tracie Lawlor Trust for Cystic Fibrosis (TLT4CF) is conducting a massive research project into natural & alternative health care options for Cf patients throughout the South East & Ireland. Thus far we have purchased many Chi and FIR hot house machines for people with Cf. Anecdotal evidence so far from Cf's who have being using these machines has being very promising. Along with that we have undertaken a Buteyko breathing technique which was hugely beneficial for the Cf's involved. The past year a few Cf's along with an alternative practitioner & a research scientist  have been formulating a natural approach, with the use of supplements, herbs, diet & exercise to see how helpful this would be for Cf patients. When this coalition of information is fully  complete the TLT4CF will embark on a quality of life study. The idea behind this is to use complementary medication with a more non-evasive approach to help keep our Cf's out of hospital for as long as possible. Also to educate & in power Cf's to take their health into their own hands. As the saying goes "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!".

Although there is little known about the alternative approach to Cf in what we have observed in our subjects thus far it is very promising. A Unit for the South-East is the long-term aim however this was unlikely when we started in 08' & even more so one year on due to the economic circumstances. That being said there is a lot that can be done with what little is available, with the support & good nature of the Irish people, we are able to grow with research, in awareness & hope of a better day for all Cf patients & all who are effected by this awful chronic illness. We try to bring a mindset of hope, to everyone touched or untouched by Cystic Fibrosis.

Our motto - "Live Life Laughing"

Our philosophy - "Preemptive & Preventative"

The Person of the Month Overall Winner for the year 2007/08 was Joseph Lawlor.

Joseph Lawlor

Joseph and his family suffered a deep personal tragedy in November 2007 with the death of his beloved sister Tracie at the age of 24. Tracie suffered from cystic fibrosis.
Every since her death Joseph has campaigned for a special, dedicated unit to be established for cystic fibrosis patients nationally.  Joseph has spoken movingly about the conditions Tracie endured during her many hospital stays including the lack of privacy and danger of cross contamination from other patients - something which can pose a real danger to CF patients whose health is already compromised.
While Tracie was well known and loved as an out-going vivacious young woman, Joseph, who also has cystic fibrosis, is shyer and not one to seek attention.  All the more remarkable then that this 20-year-old has found the courage to speak out in the national media, giving interviews on radio, television and in national newspapers about the campaign.  And the lobbying by Joseph and other cystic fibrosis patients and supporters is bearing fruit - the Department of Health has promised to provide a special isolation unit.  Joseph and  his colleagues vow to continue their campaign to have a specially dedicated CF unit as part of this new facility.
