My story
Bringing together a team of family and friends, as well as young people who have Cystic Fibrosis themselves, to do a tandem skydive in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to take place on Saturday 25th April 2009 from Langar Airfield in Nottingham.
The Barnes boys are my son's - Daniel (aged 13) and Joseph (aged 5) - both have the genetically inherited life-threatening disease Cystic Fibrosis.
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.
Team Members include: Lorraine Barnes, Claire Shaw, Jon Lewis, Phillip Hughes, Michelle Gilbert, Justine Shaw, Fran Gould, Steve Shrimpton, Kevin Kelly, Kierran Eames, Debbie Stanton, Steven O'Hare, Kirsty Hudson, Alison Dillon, Ollie Roberts, Katie Dick, Dave Little, Alexandra Cass, Sarah Cass, Simon Hale, Sinead Hudson, Tracey Gavin, Ben Vertannes, (23 members)
