❤️ YOU'VE SEEN HER ART. NOW MEET THE WOMAN BEHIND IT. ❤️

We are beyond excited to introduce our 2026 Ladies in Red Guest Speaker, the incredibly talented Emily Blom!

If you've been following along with this year's Ladies in Red journey, you've already had a little glimpse of Emily's magic.

Emily is the extraordinary artist behind our beautiful event artwork, and she's been busy dreaming up something truly special to help bring this year's event to life. We don't want to give too much away just yet, but trust us when we say you're in for a treat! ✨

But there is so much more to Emily's story than her incredible artistic talent.

Beyond the canvas, Emily is a wife to Mat and mum to two wonderfully creative girls, one of whom lives with cystic fibrosis.

This year, Emily has generously agreed to share a little of their family's journey with us.

And that means more to us than we can put into words.

Because cystic fibrosis doesn't just touch the life of the person living with it. It becomes part of the lives of parents, siblings, grandparents, friends and entire communities. Each with their own experiences, perspectives and stories to tell.

This year's Ladies in Red is about celebrating those stories. The people, the connections, the love, the laughter and everything in between.

And we couldn't think of a more wonderful person to help us do that.

Emily, thank you for sharing not only your extraordinary creativity with us, but also a little piece of your world. We know how personal that is, and we are so incredibly grateful. ❤️

With plenty of creativity, a little drama, a whole lot of heart and a few surprises along the way, we have a feeling this is going to be something very special.

Please join us in giving Emily the warmest Ladies in Red welcome! 🌹

Tickets are selling fast, and please believe us when we say you do not want to miss this one. Remaining tickets available here: https://events.humanitix.com/cystic-fibrosis-tasmania-2026-ladies-in-red-lunch

Today marks the start of National Carers Week, and from October 11 to 17, CFT proudly recognises all the carers of people living with CF across Tasmania.

The 2026 theme, “Care for a carer: Making carers visible,” shines a light on the invaluable contribution of unpaid carers and encourages all Australians to recognise, support and care for the carers in their families, workplaces and communities.

CFT personally thanks each and every one of our state's carers. The selflessness it takes to learn about the condition and provide support shows that carers truly are heroes. We also recognise the strength their work takes and encourage all carers to reach out for support. You can contact our Member Services Officer; Peaches, at [email protected] or call our office Tuesday and Thursday 9am-5pm on (03) 62346085

If you would like more information about Natinal Carers Week and how you can support the organisations work visit carersweek.com.au.

CFPhysio.com Inc are supporting a national project which aligns closely to our vision and mission. Check out the information from the PEP-AUS team:

Take part in a national project aimed at enhancing communication and partnership in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) care across Australia.

A team of Australian CF healthcare professionals and people living with CF are working together to create the Partnership Enhancement Program Australia (PEP-Aus), a CF-specific communication training program tailored for the Australian CF community.

Your perspective as someone impacted by CF is essential to help us shape the Pep-Aus program so that it truly reflects the needs of the Australian CF community.

If you are a person with CF aged 13 or over, of a parent/guardian/caregiver for a person with CF, we want to hear about your experiences of communication with your CF healthcare team - what works well, what feels challenging, and what could make CF care feel more collaborative and supportive. In return, you will receive a $40 card/voucher as financial recognition of your valuable input.

If you are a healthcare professional working in CF, we definitely want to hear about your experiences too.

THIS OR THAT? 🍕🍝

If someone asked us to choose just pizza or pasta, we personally couldn't decide, but thankfully with a Thermomix, you don't have to! The TM7 Thermomix can make just about anything, and by incorporating dozens of appliances into one, cleanup is a breeze.
This year's prize package is valued at $3609, so make sure to get your raffle tickets to avoid regret if you miss out😔🖤

Tickets available: https://events.humanitix.com/cystic-fibrosis-tasmania-thermomix-raffle-20026

Please note that this raffle is only open to Tasmanian residents, as the prize will be delivered and set up by a Thermomix consultant to guide you through your new favourite appliance!
