Fundraising for Cardiff & Vale Health Charity
My name is Ellie and I am 11years old. I have decided to do a virtual 870 mile walk, which is the equivelant of walking the full length of the Wales coastal path with my mother and uncle to raise money and awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.
My Dadi has Cystic Fibrosis and this makes his chest bad and he needs a lot of antibiotics mostly through a line they put in his arm. Sometimes Dadi has to go to the Cystic Fibrosis unit in Llandough Hospital when he's really bad.
I get to go see him all the time and the doctors and nurses are really nice. There are only 7 beds in the unit and sometimes patients have to wait to go there and some patients are in there for a few weeks or a few months.
The Better Life Appeal for Cystic Fibrosis are raising money to build a bigger CF unit - more beds for patients who are bad and they want to make it feel more like home for patients and families who are in there for a long time.
The team in Llandough are always giving Dadi new things, medications and different equipment which cost a lot of money. They keep Dadi well to carry on doing things with me, Amily and Mami.
I want to help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis so they can carry on looking after Dadi and all the other people with Cystic Fibrosis - so if you would like to sponsor me I would be very grateful.
Thank you, Ellie
