Murgon couple Jason and Katrina Akers with son Riley, 5, at Wondai on Saturday … the couple also has four other children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 14, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riley Akers, from Murgon, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of four months so he has spent much of his young life travelling up and down to Brisbane for treatment.<\/p>\n

The genetic condition, which mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, has no cure and requires regular physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

Riley’s grandmother Annette Akers said sometimes he had to visit Brisbane for treatment every three months, or sometimes every couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Riley’s friends and supporters gathered at the Wondai Soccer Fields for a ‘Roses For Riley’ family fun day to help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.<\/p>\n

There were raffles, a sausage sizzle, roast pork rolls, face painting and live entertainment.<\/p>\n

Ba Ba Bounce Jumping Castles, from Murgon, donated a jumping castle and slide for the day.<\/p>\n

Riley’s mother Katrina said the aim was to raise enough money to buy a refrigerator for use at Rose Cottage, the Cystic Fibrosis Qld accommodation facility where families stay in Brisbane.<\/p>\n
