Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2018 I was diagnosed with IPF - Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a lung condition in which the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult. There is currently no cure for IPF. However, there are treatments that can help relieve symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and improve quality of life.

At present I am in the final stages of the disease which involves palliative care treatment from various charities. Palliative care treatment is a medical approach that's reduces suffering for people with serious, complex, or terminal illnesses. The treatment also includes support and care for my family which I am eternally grateful for.

I am extremely overwhelmed by the support and guidance throughout this challenging time and want to acknowledge them by fundraising for the NI Hospice, Pulmonary Fibrosis NI and Marie Cure Hospice.

The funds raised will help provide comfort care and support for other patients, families and carers throughout NI suffering with terminal illnesses or long term conditions who are approaching end the end of their life.

Many Thanks

John
