Fundraising for Child Health International
Story
I'm helping raise money for Child Health International, a charity that helps children with Cystic Fibrosis. The charity was founded in the early 90s by my grandparents Roy and Dorothea Ridgway, in memory of their son Tony, who died from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 29, having lived longer than anyone had expected.
Roy had previously worked with International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, and when the Iron Curtain came down, decided to use his contacts to help improve treatment for CF patients in the former Soviet Union. Several projects have been undertaken in Moscow and around Ukraine, which have led to the development of a more integrated approach to the care of children with CF.
