On the First of August 2016, at two weeks of age, our daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and so our lives changed forever all over again.

Cystic Fibrosis is a life long and often limiting disease which affects over 10,800 people in the UK alone. A build up of thick sticky mucous in organs such as the lungs and pancreas, means that Cystic Fibrosis Fighters have to take a lot of medication and undergo hours of physical therapy everyday to keep healthy and live their lives to the max.

Birmingham Children' Hospital... What can we say?! From running the neonatal screening service that helped diagnose our daughter, to providing flawless specialist Cystic Fibrosis care, all for Charlotte and the other Cystic Fibrosis Fighters of the West Midlands. We cannot thank them enough!

Cystic Fibrosis Trust... The support that they provide is amazing and so important for such an isolating disease. Whether you are the Cystic Fibrosis Fighter, the carers, a sibling, friend or a loved one, there is support or information there for you! The all important raising awareness and campaigning, and all of your efforts are really appreciated!

A lot of additional equipment can be quite helpful for Cystic Fibrosis Fighters however like with anything costs amount up, so we would also like to raise some money to help some less fortunate families with a few bits of equipment they may find helpful.

The plan is to keep this page running all of 2017 (somehow even if it means doing a new page every four months) to try to raise the maximum funds possible. Anyone will be able to participate in some way with the different events and obviously with how this site works, any donations are greatly appreciated, even if you do not wish to partake in events.

Also, if anyone has any fundraising ideas please share!! It would be amazing if we could reach the target and maybe even more!!
