About the Olive Foundation

The Olive Foundation, founded in 2008 by Brendan Kavanagh, is a non-profit organisation which aims to raise both awareness of and funds for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) sufferers and their families. Cystic Fibrosis is the biggest inherent disease in Ireland. It’s a hereditary disease which affects the entire body causing progressive disability and often early death. Approximately 1 in 25 people carry one gene for Cystic Fibrosis and where two carriers of the Cystic Fibrosis gene parent a child together there is a 1 in 4 chance of that baby being born with CF. While there is no cure, research is ongoing, Cystic Fibrosis sufferers generally spend their lives on antibiotics and in and out of hospital regularly.

In 2010, all proceeds raised by The Olive Foundation will go towards the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland's 'Brick by Brick' Campaign which aims to build specialised CF units around the island of Ireland.
