The Breathing Life Awards 2008 were held on Wednesday 28 May at the London Hilton Metropole and shown on Sky Real Lives on Sunday 1 June. For more on this year's ceremony, see our Winners page, or for photos from the night, see our gallery.

The Awards are the chance to recognise and celebrate the achievements and spirit of those living with Cystic Fibrosis. The Awards are open to anyone with Cystic Fibrosis over the age of five.

We want to show the amazing talents of those living with Cystic Fibrosis in the arts, the classroom, on the playing field and in living life to the full or simply overcoming obstacles to defy the odds.

The Breathing Life Awards is a glittering show packed with singing, dancing, celebrities and of course the main stars - the nominees. Broadcast on TV for the last five years, the Breathing Life Awards is a spectacular evening and the highlight of the CF Trust year. It provides a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.

In 2007, the Breathing Life Awards were shown on Five Life. You can find out more about the 2007 Breathing Life Award winners here or see the photos in our gallery.
