The MOVE project uses the power of football and the LFC badge to appeal to young cystic fibrosis patients, encouraging them to partake in plenty of physical activity, which not only improves their quality of life but is critical to increasing the life expectancy of children living with the condition.
Every six to eight weeks, local kids with cystic fibrosis attend regular check-ups at Alder Hey, where they are seen by a team of specialists, including a dietician, physiotherapist, respiratory consultant, nurse specialist and psychologist. They also have their lung function measured to assess their respiratory health.
