Wearing Yellow For Cystic Fibrosis

24/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Friday, 22nd June was national "Wear Yellow for CF" day. Millie's sister Sophie and many other local children and adults suffer from this illness. Even the sun shone it's brightest yellow for the day and Mrs Smith thought she had come to the wrong school when the usual green of St Joseph's uniforms was replaced by yellow for the day. Mrs Bailey's class started the day with a fantastic assembly demonstrating how, unlike many other illnesses, cystic fibrosis isn't obvious to see. After listening to the children and watching a short film our children should now have a better understanding of cystic fibrosis and why it is important to raise money to try and find a cure. Sophie watched the assembly with her mum before attending yet another hospital appointment for her condition.   
The generosity of our families at St Joseph's was clear to see with an amazing £180 being raised on the day. This is being donated directly to the cystic fibrosis trust via a local fundraising event which starts next weekend. A local man Stephen Taylor, who has a 6 year old grandson with CF,  is walking 1150 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats to raise funds and awareness. Due to our fundraising donation being over £100, our school will be the official sponsors for his walk on July, 16th. Parents may wish to follow his challenge via his Facebook page Walking4cf. Joseph Bear already has his picture on the page proudly wearing his yellow CF buff!
