Companies raise R365 000 for cystic fibrosis awareness

In a remarkable effort of community collaboration and corporate responsibility, Pachas Restaurant and TRX Electronics, both in Pretoria, joined forces to raise R365 000 for Breathtaking Fundraising NPC, an organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in South Africa.

The contribution highlights the power of collaboration while underscoring the urgent need for more corporate partners to support this important cause.

The multi-organ disease is often accompanied by frequent hospitalisations, lung transplants, long hours of daily treatment sessions, shortened life expectancy, diabetes and chronic lung infection. Breathtaking Fundraising NPC envisions a future where every individual with CF has access to the most effective treatments available.

The organisation is currently working on a health economics report to assess the cost-effectiveness of these treatments and the improved quality of life experienced by patients who benefit from modulator therapy. This will serve as a good basis for motivation to ensure that more medical aid funds will cover the most effective treatment for Cystic Fibrosis.

This initiative is crucial for advocating for better healthcare policies and ensuring no one is left behind in their fight against CF.

The recent fundraising golf day hosted by Pachas Restaurant and TRX Electronics was a beacon of hope for the SF community. The funds raised will directly support the mission of Breathtaking Fundraising NPC, which includes raising awareness, providing financial assistance to patients, educating healthcare professionals and families on the signs and symptoms of CF, and facilitating the logistics of donated modulators and medical equipment.

Other businesses are invited to partner with Breathtaking Fundraising NPC to help make a difference in the lives of people with CF: email info@breathtakingnpc.co.za or visit www.breathtakingnpc.co.za
