Fundraising for The Puffin Appeal

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April me and my best mate Dan Quinn will be walking the length of Hadrians Wall from Bowness on Solway to Wallsend in Newcastle. The distance will be roughly 84 miles and we will be carrying all our kit and tents.

The reson I chose this charity is a few years ago a family member was born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Untill then I had never really heard of CF or how it affects young children. Basically CF 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. To learn more you can look at this link http://www.cftrust.org.uk/aboutcf/whatiscf/

She really is a fantastic little girl and is the same age as my little boy Oliver. So im hoping to raise as much as I can for this great charity to help her and all other children born with CF.
