Story

So, The Great Manchester Run ... at the moment I'm thinking hordes of cheering people, the Rocky theme on my ipod and my friends and family cheering me over the finish line.

 

The reality? Very sweaty, panting heavily and … Let's stop there ... this isn't about me.

 

I'm trying to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

 

I know a few people affected by CF, so if you'd like to help spur me on and help find a cure please leave a donation!!

 

What is Cystic Fibrosis?  

  

  • Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases.
  • Cystic Fibrosis affects over 8,500 people in the UK.
  • Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.
  • If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food.
  • Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Each week, two young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Around half of the CF population can expect to live over 38 years, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live even longer.



So please dig deep and donate generously.

 

Many, many thanks!
