What is Cystic Fibrosis ?
Approximately 1 in 19 people are carriers of the CF gene.
Cystic Fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system affecting the glands, damaging the pancreas, and reproductive system.
People with CF are prone to constant chest infections and malnutrition.

As a result, persons with CF must also follow a demanding daily routine of physical therapy to keep the lungs free of congestion and infection and consume artificial enzymes with food, to help them absorb adequate nutrition from their food.

The Meyrick Hotel on Eyre Square, Galway, is a majestic hotel. It's sophisticated refined and considerably swish.
Tosh, its new late night lounge, is all about the champagne cocktails, velvet curtains, film screenings in the afternoon and sounds by guest DJs in the evenings.

Add in the fact that it's possibly the best location in Galway city and you've got no excuse not come and enjoy the music and dance to your hearts content to raise funds for people with Cystic Fibrosis on
Sunday 9 March 2008 starting at 8.pm tel : +353 (0) 91564041
