Welcome to our sponsor page to support "The Risk Rockets" in our 10K run!
Lynne’s husband, Damien, suffers from Cystic Fibrosis (CF), which is the UK 's most common life-threatening inherited disease, affecting over 8,000 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.
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, three lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
Through research, better understanding and treatment of Cystic Fibrosis, life expectancy is increasing. When the CF Trust was founded in 1964, life expectancy was just five years. It now stands at 31 - not good enough, but getting better and with your donation we can help improve treatments.
So, go on every donation helps!
From all “The Risk Rockets” we thank you in advance for your kind support and sponsorship xx
