Story
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing. Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis. Last year our daughter as diagnosed with Cf, we decided to do our first fundraiser when she was 12 weeks old. We managed to raise £1500, this year we aim to raise £2000. Walking the route we have had to drive over 25 times this past year to take our daughter Harper to her essential clinic appointments. The walk will be over 5 hours from our house to the CF unit in the Sheffield Children’s hospital, and ask you to donate what you can to help us find a cure for our daughter and other CF’ers.
