Kerry Wheatley's Skydive
Fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis Trust
Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Ok so if you've clicked on here then you must of heard that i'm going to be doing a skydive. It's something i've always wanted to do and i'm going to be raising money for Cystic Fibrosis.
I’ve chosen to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, because it’s a great charity. I have an amazingly brave and fantastic friend called Craig who I’ve known since school. Craig suffers from CF and its such a constant battle for him and I have no idea where his strength comes from. He is always laughing, joking about everything and has this amazing energy. When picking a charity I knew straight away that I wanted to do my bit for Craig and the rest of the CF sufferers in the UK.
I’ve added a few facts about CF and hope everyone supports me with this.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease.
Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.
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.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
