Cystic Fibrosis is a complex condition, affecting not only the lungs, but the pancreas, liver and other organs too. While our knowledge and understanding of CF, from its underlying genetic causes to ways of treating it, have grown immeasurably, there is still much to do if we are to reduce its impact on people with CF.

From the very start, back in 1964, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has invested in research into all aspects of CF. We continue to be one of the largest funders of research into CF and, with our partners in the UK and internationally, we are committed to unlocking the secrets to treating - and beating - CF.

My brave cousin Lynsey died from CF at the young age of 27 leaving behind her son Jordan John,  her mum Linda and sister Jayne but she is remembered in our hearts everyday.

It is possible that a cure can be found and so every penny helps!

My challenge may take 6 months or even a year but I will reach my weight target of 9st 7lb because I don't like to let anyone down.

So please dig deep and donate now.
