Raquel was a neighbour of ours in Exminster. She was intelligent, bright and caring and had so much life to live before tragically she passed away in October 2017.

I’d like to raise money to help other sufferers of this condition receive help to pro-long their lives and thus give them more time with their loving families.

I’ll be running the Great West Run this October for Raquel and to raise money for The Cystoc Fibrosis Trust.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.
