On the 22nd of May 2010 I and some other CRAZY individuals will be jumping from a plane at 14 thousand feet and freefalling for nearly one minute at speeds of around 140 mph - to support the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

My Girlfriends little Sister Daisy Cass was diagnosed with CF at just two weeks old. CF for many individuals involves daily medication, rigourous physiotherapy, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, intravenous treatment and hospital stays....

 

- CF is the 's most common life-threatening inherited disease. It affects the lungs and digestive system, clogging them with a thick sticky mucus, making it hard to breathe and digest food.

 

- Over two million people in the carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.

 

- Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.

- Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.

The average life expectancy of a person with CF is around 31 years. Please help us to change this :(

Research into a cure for CF is expensive, costing millions of pounds each year. Gene therapy trials began last year and hold real hope for better treatment and maybe even a cure for people living with CF.

I am paying for the cost of the skydive myself incase you have any doubt, every penny donated will go straight to the CF trust! =)

 

Thanks for your support!!!
