for Cystic Fibrosis.
There will be a water station at the 3.5km mark. Bottles of water are also available at the finish line.

GEELONG CYSTIC FIBROSIS
SUPPORT GROUP INC.
The Geelong Cystic Fibrosis Support Group was formed by parents
of children with CF, to support all people with Cystic Fibrosis and
their families in the Geelong region and to raise community
awareness about CF as an INHERITED condition. There are over 55
children and adults affected by CF in the Greater Geelong region.
We are all volunteers and we fundraise to help those affected,
with treatment costs and to fund vital research.
There is no Cure and we need one fast.
