<p>This may very well be the last time I enter this race because I am getting waaay too old to make a fool of myself in shorts ;-).Please note my employer May Gurney has kindly pledged to match whatever I raise - so for every pound you donate MG will donate another.</p> <p>Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease and affects over 8,000 people in the UK.&nbsp; Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.&nbsp; If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.&nbsp; Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis. Thanks in part to donations to the CF Trust, Improvements in treatments mean a baby born today can expect to live for longer.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
