Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Breath of Life is a registered charity which helps people in North Staffordshire who have breathing problems or lung disease.

Since 1997 they have funded research and provided equipment and facilities to help in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients in hospital, in clinics and at home, where statutory funding was not available.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe inherited disease affecting the respiratory and digestive systems. CF patients need daily physiotherapy and exercise to alleviate the abnormal production of thick mucus that clogs up their lungs. The susceptibility of CF patients to certain infections means that they have to be treated for long periods in a special isolation ward.

Breath of Life will take an active role in supporting the development of new facilities in the area, including things that make life in hospital a little more pleasant and comfortable for young adults with CF.

Currently Breath of Life is also funding gym places for some young adults, where regular exercise greatly enhances their physical and psychological wellbeing.

On 2nd July, I will be chucking myself out of a plane and doing a tandem skydive to raise money for this exceptionally worthwhile cause. Surely this is worth a sheckle or two?! All donations will be massively appreciated however big or small. Your words of encouragement will be very much required too!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks

Helen
