Masks for Life: Fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis NZ.

Lesley from Carterton District

Masks still available

We started making masks for our family members, and have extended into the community. We have quilted and sewn for many years, so our masks are excellent quality

We do not charge for the masks, but ask people to go online and make a donation to Cystic Fibrosis NZ. We suggest that people might like to donate $15 for one mask, or $25 for two, but leave the amount paid entirely up to the purchaser.

Cystic Fibrosis is an incurable genetic condition that affects both the lungs and the digestive system. Until very recently there has been no cure and no effective treatment. Life expectancy for someone with Cystic Fibrosis is around 35 years. We have a five year old in our family with Cystic Fibrosis, and know first-hand the level of support needed by both the child and the family.

We also ask people to go online and sign the petition to the NZ Govt, to fund Trikafta which is a new “miracle drug” for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers. (www.parliament.nz...)

Our masks are:
• Fitted style
• 100% cotton
• Double layer
• High thread count quilter’s fabric
• Reversible
• Anti-fogging style (great if you wear glasses)
• Three sizes (child, Med, Large)

If you would like a mask (or two) please contact: Lesley 0212996389
