In March our daughter Mya was born and changed our lives for the better. Shortly after a spell of early health problems she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. A very significant, life changing condition. We are just getting to grips with the consequences.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.

When a few of my siblings signed up to do the Royal Parks half marathon in aid of Cystic Fibrosis I decided that I would need to give it a go too. So far I've rediscovered my disliking of running and my old painful knee injury.. wish me luck!

Donations of any size really appreciated. 🙏
