The Tracie Lawlor Trust offers people with CF adult’s and children (with parental consent) an opportunity to avail of complementary and integrative modalities, supplements, education and fertility help. The reasoning behind this was from feedback from CF’s themselves whom found it very helpful, however they found it hard to pay for treatments/supplements/gym equipment, due to these fact’s we decided to set up this fund to help aid CF’s to avail of integrative medicine. We advocate CF’s take more responsibility and empower themselves with knowledge about their own disease, thus only then can they make a fully informed decision.
If you are interested and wish to apply please download the form (below) and fill it out in full and return to us (address on form). As we know from research and feedback many CF’s have found that their quality of life has improvement by integration of both methods. Everyone is different try find what works best for you! You can find some information on our blog under “complementary & integrative medicine”, be sure to read and research fully! Only forms signed (including receipts) are accepted as applications see form for details, please consider us in any fundraising activities in the future as this fund is limited and once funds are gone they are gone and other CF’s may loose out due to this fact.
