My name is Connor and I have been fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust since October 2014 I began planning my event at the beginning of the month and had to prepare everything that I would need to complete the event, I came up with a date to do the event which was originally March 4th 2015 but I was out playing football on March 2nd and as I was running I accidentally stepped on the ball and rolled on my ankle, the injury forced me to sit out for a while, when I was able to get back to training again I planned once again a date which was April 4th but as I was putting the shopping in my home on March 25th my bike was stolen from me and I had to once again delay the event further. I quickly notified Police and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust about the theft of my bike and I received an email the next day from my regional fundraising manager notifying me that they had contacted my local Halfords store and they were willing to loan me a bike to complete my event on, when I went to the store on April 6th they gave me the same bike model that was stolen and a few accessories to go with it, they also told me that they were making the loan permanent and that the bike was mine, I am forever grateful for that and I plan to do something in return one day. I got home on my bike and planned the date to finally complete my event which was April 12th ( I needed a Sunday ) I biked from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Eyemouth in the Scottish borders the weather wasn't great but I completed my event and uploaded a video of footage I captured on the journey.
I am doing this project in honour of my good friend Robbie who is a relative of my girlfriend, he has Cystic Fibrosis and I'd like to raise a lot of money to help better fund research for Cystic Fibrosis in hope that we can one day find a cure together.
I am taking part in the Tyne Bridge zipline event on October 31st
If you're interested in being in my video and would like to talk about Cystic Fibrosis please do not hesitate to contact me.
I have completed my 140 mile cycle event.

My fundraising is not over yet and I will be doing more to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
I'd like to say a big thank you to Cramlington Halfords for replacing my stolen bike free of charge.
I have many more ideas in the summer and winter to produce further content, raise further awareness and cash for CF.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my story.
