Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am participating in the UK Outlaw Ironman Triathlon on the 8^th August this year – this involves Swimming 2.4M->Biking 112M ->Running 26.2 Miles.

To keep me focused I am looking to raise funds for the charity Cystic Fibrosis Trust (http://www.cftrust.org.uk/) to help support my nephew and others who are afflicted with this disease.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by a single faulty gene that controls the movement of salt in the body. In people with Cystic Fibrosis, the internal organs become clogged with thick, sticky mucus resulting in infections and inflammation making it hard to breathe and digest food.

CF is one of the 's most common life-threatening inherited diseases and affects over 8,500 people in the . Over two million people in the carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.

There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Through research, better understanding and treatment of Cystic Fibrosis, life expectancy is increasing. When the CF Trust was founded in 1964, a child was lucky to live over five years. Around half of those with CF today can expect to live over 38 years - not good enough, but getting better.
