Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may be aware, my husband Tom was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, an incurable, life limiting lung disease, in 2018 age 43. Four of our good friends Johnny Hallawell, Una and John Porteous and Mick Doyle have kindly (and bravely) volunteered to undertake this epic cycling challenge in order to raise awareness about Pulmonary Fibrosis, and also to fundraise for a new respite centre, 'Puffin Lodge' for all patients, carers and their families in Northern Ireland to avail of. This is being established by the Northern Trust Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group.

Any support, no matter how small is very greatly appreciated.

If you wish to find out more about the support group and how they support patients and carers, please go to https://northerntrustpfsg.com
