On September 8, we celebrate World Cystic Fibrosis Day and on this occasion the Polish Society for the Fight against Cystic Fibrosis in Gdańsk organizes the 6th edition of the #PrzeskoczMukowiscydozę campaign. September has been declared Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month and our Resident, Energa from the ORLEN Group, has also joined the series of educational events.
Together with Energa, we invite you to participate in the skipping rope challenge.
This symbolic gesture is an expression of support for all those suffering from this incurable disease.
Come to the Olivia Centre patio on September 6 at 10:00 a.m. and… Jump rope with us!
#PrzeskoczMukowiscydozę – the whole of Poland is jumping for cystic fibrosis patients!
The campaign, organized as part of the World Cystic Fibrosis Day, aims to motivate patients to a simple physical activity – jumping rope.
Such activity is an excellent form of physiotherapy for people struggling with cystic fibrosis.
When jumping, mucus is detached from the lungs and it is possible to cough it up.
Let’s show the sick support, let’s move, and thus motivate them to be active!
The campaign also aims to raise public awareness of cystic fibrosis.
In our country, approx.
2000 people, 30% are adults and 70% are children.
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, incurable disease, which means that it accompanies the patient throughout his life.
The everyday life of cystic fibrosis patients is:
- multidisciplinary team of specialists: paediatrician, internist, pulmonologist, microbiologist, physiotherapist, dietician, psychologist, geneticist, nurse
- time-consuming inhalations several times a day
- taking a very large amount of medication every day
- taking pancreatic enzymes before each meal
- respiratory physiotherapy, drainage
- Prevention of bacterial infections
- hospitalizations
- transplant treatment
