Hello,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
I wanted to set myself a challenge this year - one a little different from the rest.
Most of you will know that I have my own podcast, 'From a Lancashire Lass' and also host the podcast for the CF Trust. That is where the idea of doing a 24 hour live podcast came from.
As many of you will know, I have Cystic Fibrosis myself, and whilst treatment has come a long way, it still remains a daily struggle and battle.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 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. I am lucky to benefit from the new modulator treatments, but we are unsure how long they will last and there are some people, that due to their mutation of the disease, cannot take any new advancements in medication.
I am doing this challenge for research for all of us so that we can all live a life unlimited by Cystic Fibrosis.
I will be starting the challenge at 10am on Friday 5th June and finishing on Saturday 6th June at 10am. It will be live streamed on Youtube at From a Lancashire Lass and I will have lots and lots of exciting guests in store, and also raising more awareness about Cystic Fibrosis. I will be doing this live for a day, no sleep, no stopping.
Please do consider sponsoring me,
If you would like to watch me live on Friday 5th June, please visit this link on YouTube where it will be livestreamed.
