Completed the skydive and it was amazing :) Thankyou to all that supported and sponsored me!
On the 22nd May 2010 I'll be jumping out of a plane at 10,000 ft. Why....... to raise funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis the life threatening condition which currently there is no cure.
My daughter Hannah was born with this disease. In her 12 yrs she has visited over 12 hospitals & undergone numerous operations.She also has to do daily physio, take medicines/tablets, nebulisers, frequent 2 weekly Intravenous Antibiotics and nightly feeds fed through a gastrostomy just to keep her healthy.
The jump is in memory of those that have lost the fight with Cystic Fibrosis & is also Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Week. I'll be joined by over 30 other parents, friends, family who are affected by this life threatening disease.
Please watch Hannah's journey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwmDVCfXxk
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited disease
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.
Average life expectancy is around 31 years and, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live longer, there is no cure for CF and lung transplantation is often the only option. Most individuals with cystic fibrosis die young, many in their 20s and 30s from lung failure.
Each week, 3 YOUNG LIVES are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
We are aiming to raise a lot of money to go to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to help towards research and care for those suffering from CF, so please give generously.
