WHAT IS THE RESPIRALIA FOUNDATION?
The Respiralia Foundation was born in 2006 thanks to the work done by the Balearic Association for Cystic Fibrosis. Both charities have 2 objectives: improving quality of life for people affected by the illness and spread the message about this serious and incurable illness.
To reach its first objective the foundation offers affected people a host of services. Advice and information, accompanying affected people, chest therapy, fisio complement, psychological help, swimming courses and a new program of individualized physical training.
For the second objective, events are organised both social, cultural and sporting which have an objective of making people aware of the symptoms of the illness so people in society can detect this at the earliest possible stage. Couples at an age when they will have children should know about the risks of this illness if they have any previous background within their family of Cystic Fibrosis. The “Swimming Tour around Formentera against CF” and the documentary film “The Salted Kiss” are the main projects to divulge CF all over the world.
