Charity Treble Reel for
the Immune Deficiency Foundation

We have chosen the Immune Deficiency Foundation for our charity treble reel at the Isles of Shoals Feis 2025.

The Immune Deficiency Foundation offers support for primary immune deficiency patients, as well as advocating for patients and their families and promoting awareness. There are over 550 primary immunodeficiencies, which are all rare, chronic conditions in which a patient’s immune system does not function correctly.

We have chosen the Immune Deficiency Foundation as our charity because Liz, one of our feis chairs, deals with a primary immune deficiency on a daily basis. Liz was diagnosed with Specific Antibody Deficiency in 2021, after many years of recurrent infections. Every week, Liz self-administers subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions to supplement her immune system. We hope to bring awareness to the important work that the Immune Deficiency Foundation does to help patients like Liz navigate these conditions.
