PLEASE DIG DEEP AND SPONSOR ME ONLINE
I am running the London Marathon in aid of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) as my 14 year old cousin Nicole was diagnosed with CF shortly after birth and is one of the 7500 babies, children and young adults living with CF in the UK. The average life expectancy is just 31 years old.
Nicole is truly marvellous, she has daily treatments of physio and medication, numerous trips to hospital for check ups and the occasional stay in hospital for IV’s and yet she isn’t fazed by this. She is positively unique, inspiring and a wonderfully charismatic individual who has an astounding affect on everyone she meets. Nicole dreams of being a dancer or an actress and I want to raise money to help CF Trust to continue the excellent work into research, family support, clinical support, gene therapy etc to help find a cure and help Nicole to live her dreams. I want to assist in giving her and the many other people living with CF the best possible chance to see off CF.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK's only national charity working to fund research into a cure and to ensure appropriate clincial care and support for people with CF. CF is the UK's most common life threatning inherited disease. It is caused by a defective gene, leading to a thick sticky mucus that obstructs the airways, the digestive system and other organs, resulting in chronic infections and inflammation in the lungs and difficulty digesting food and nutrients.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support
