📬 Check your inbox, members!

Over the past few days, many of you will have received an email inviting you to complete our Cystic Fibrosis Tasmania Member Voice Survey.

As CFT enters a new chapter, we have a unique opportunity to pause, reflect and listen to the people who matter most, our members and families.

This survey is more than a tick box exercise for us right now, It's an opportunity for you to tell us:

🌹What's working well
🌹What could be improved
🌹What support has made a difference
🌹What barriers you've faced
🌹What you'd like to see from CFT in the future

Whether you've accessed many of our programs, only one, or none at all, your experiences and perspectives are important.

I have set a very ambitious goal to hear from at least 50 members and families so we can ensure future decisions are informed by the voices of the people we are here to serve.

If you are one of the 10 who have already completed the survey, thank you! Your feedback is incredibly valuable.

If you haven't had a chance yet, please check your inbox (email has come from [email protected]) and will take you around 10–15 minutes to complete.

And remember, if you'd prefer to chat directly, we'd love to hear from you too. You can contact me in person or speak with your wonderful clinical team. Sometimes the most important conversations happen person-to-person.

We exist to serve you, so your voice on our services is most important. Please do consider sharing it with us today.

✨️Member Services Spotlight✨️
CFT provides 11 different member benefits to people living with CF and their families, and one member favourite is the Fitness Equipment Benefit. Members can access up to $750 of funding to put towards fitness equipment of their choice that they believe will be beneficial to their physical health. In the past, we have had members purchase a treadmill, indoor bike, Apple watch and trampolines amongst other things! Many retailers are currently holding end of financial year sales which is the perfect oppurtunity to purchase equipment under the member benefit and get more bang for your buck!

Cambridge Road Play and Learn Centre was seeing red this May as they held a month-long fundraiser for CFT, including the best 'Go Red for CF Tas' Day we have seen! They even themed all the activities and snacks to be red, how cool is that! In the end, the play centre raised $202, but just as importantly, the kids learnt about Cystic Fibrosis and had fun doing it. Thank you Cambridge Road Play and Learn Centre, the CFT team is eternally grateful! 🥰🌹👧

Today, Ali is taking on a Half Marathon in support of Cystic Fibrosis Tasmania, and we couldn't be more grateful.

What makes Ali's fundraising so special is that she doesn't live with cystic fibrosis herself. She's chosen to step up because she cares about people in her community who do. Through the encouragement of friends and connections within the CF community, Alison has laced up her running shoes and is turning every single kilometre into support for Tasmanians living with CF.

The funds Ali raises will help continue the legacy of the Aaron Mackrill Memorial Scholarship, supporting Tasmanians with CF to pursue further education and training. Named in honour of former CFT President Aaron Mackrill, the scholarship helps remove barriers and create opportunities for people with CF to achieve their goals and dreams.

This year's CF Awareness Month theme is *Strength in Community*, and Ali's efforts are a perfect example of what that means. Living with CF already comes with the daily burden of managing treatments, appointments and health challenges. When members of the wider community choose to fundraise on behalf of people living with CF, it helps lift that burden and reminds our CF community that they are not walking this journey alone.

Ali, thank you for choosing to support Cystic Fibrosis Tasmania. Your kindness, generosity and determination mean more than you know. 💙

Please join us in wishing Ali the very best for today's event in the comments and, if you're able, consider supporting her fundraising efforts. Let's help her reach her fundraising goal by the time she crosses the finish line!

Donations over $2 are tax-deductible.
