The Challenge

Why sweat for cystic fibrosis?

People with cystic fibrosis naturally sweat more — and their sweat contains extra salt.

We’re challenging you to get sweaty because staying active is one of the best ways people with cystic fibrosis can manage their health. Exercise helps clear the lungs of sticky mucus and reduces the risk of infections.

No matter how you’re sweating it out - pounding the pavement, dancing in your lounge room, hitting the gym or riding through the suburbs - your moves matter.
