Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I have set myself a totally different charity challenge!!

My very good friend (and guest-house owner) Angela Clark of Banerigg - on the shores of Grasmere in the Lake District - is hosting a charity swim on June 26th 2011 in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Angela is a long time supporter of the CF Trust - and donates a sum from every booking at her guest house to them. She has a young niece who suffers from the terrible effects of Cystic Fibrosis.

The swim will take place in the icy waters of Grasmere - where a number of swimmers will attempt to swim the distance of the English Channel in relay over the course of the day.  I used to be a very strong swimmer - until my own operation meant that I cannot raise my left arm over my head any more - and so this will represent a significant challenge for me especially in open water with a strong current... I'm in training right now!! :-)

Please give as generously as you can to this - I've set my target at £500 - but would dearly love to double that...

Heres a little info about Cystic Fibrosis for you...

  • Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases.
  • Cystic Fibrosis affects over 9,000 people in the UK.
  • Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.
  • If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food.
  • Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Each week, two young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Around half of the CF population can expect to live over 38 years, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live even longer.
