23.01.2022 Looking for walkers/runners to join Team Coen at this years 65km 4 Cystic Fibrosis in Sydney. Money raised goes to Cystic Fibrosis Community Care NSW. If you have a CF or organ donation connection join Team Coen and meet some sensational people.

22.01.2022 Wanting to know about Coen’s Cystic Fibrosis journey? We will let Coen himself tell it. A talk he did for the Conquer Cystic Fibrosis Ball, WA.

21.01.2022 Thursday the 18th October is 365 days since we last saw Coen. Kai, Coen's younger brother, put this video together. Thank you Kai, I found it too hard to do myself. We will be having a few Sir Coen shots to get us through the day. Head over to the Coen Ashton Facebook page to share a memory you have of Coen, photo or the impact that Coen had on you or others.

20.01.2022 We have found this video from when Coen was on the double lung transplant list. It was made by Cystic Fibrosis Queensland to give a little insight on waiting for a transplant. Enjoy.

18.01.2022 Yesterday was a hard day. I looked on Facebook and was overwhelmed with emotion with every post being about Coen. To know that so many people loved him and that his light continues to help others. Still, I couldn't look at Facebook for the rest of the day. Thank you for your support that you have shown. Continue to follow our wild emotional journey as we talk about Life After Death, look for a direction in life and tick off Coen's bucket list for him. He didn't have an easy, nor short, bucket list! Head over to the Coen Ashton Facebook page for the adventures as they unfold. Even we don't know what is going to happen next.

15.01.2022 Carly and Coen had so many procedures that they would have competitions to see who could last the longest awake before the anaesthetic took affect. A timer was set and the anaesthetist would turn it off when they were out. Below is Carly’s story.

10.01.2022 We love these memories that people share with us. Thank you.

09.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY COEN. Today would have been Coen’s 22nd birthday. We aren’t going to make a big deal of it like we did last year. We will be going out for a Stone Grill meal. Coen’s favourite.

06.01.2022 We have a unique opportunity for a live-in high school teacher for the remainder of 2020. Kai is in year 9 and enrolled with distance education. The roll will be assisting him with his studies. Our new family member must have the ability to travel Queensland long term and like big boats. As you know, the Ashtons are always up to something. This position is not paid but will provide accommodation, meals and a carefree, adventurous lifestyle. Currently located in Maryborough, QLD. Note: We respect travel restrictions that are currently in place.

05.01.2022 We fully support Carmen Irwin in her goal to sail the Sydney to Hobart race on Boxing Day for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Carman has dedicated so much of her time over the years to raise money and awareness when she discovered a friends baby had been born with CF. All the best Carmen.

01.01.2022 Today marks 2 years since Coen left us. Mark, Kai and Dawn are thinking of all the stories, adventures and crazy things Coen had them doing. Here’s what they had to say... One was when he decided he was going to ride a camel from Brisbane to Cairns. We managed to convince him not to (it took some time) and so he convinced us into jet skiing the Murray River instead (the first time). Another time he was admitted to hospital and the student doctors were coming around to give... their 'diagnosis' of patients. Coen put his 4 year old brother in the bed with an oxygen mask on (the innocent look of Kai's wide eyes over the mask was priceless). The students came in and started examining Kai and were getting all flustered. Coen could barely contain himself sitting on the visitors chair like a concerned brother. He was busted when the examiner walked in the door wanting to know why an easy to diagnose CF couldn't be picked by 5 students. At the end of his talk to 6000 students (I think it was in Sydney) and still on stage Coen got his phone out and told everyone to cheer as loud as they could while he recorded it on his phone. It bought the house down with the sound and the organisers were having a breakdown on what Coen was up to since it wasn’t in the schedule. Head over to the Coen Ashton Facebook page to leave your message. The Coen Ashton Foundation continues to support those with CF and promote organ donation. We will also be introducing a couple of unique product lines in the near future.
