On Sunday 26th March 2006 my first cousin, Sonny O’Sullivan was born.  He is a very happy, easy going little boy who brings joy to the whole family.  Sonny became unwell during the summer of 2007 and on Wednesday 31st October Sonny was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis is the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited disease and affects over 8000 people in the UK.  Each week 5 babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis and each week 3 people lose their fight against Cystic Fibrosis.  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.  The average life expectancy is around 31 years, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live for longer.
There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
I am raising money for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust who work to improve the lives of people with CF, raise the profile of CF and fund research into a cure.

Sonny needs people like you and me to support the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust so that he can continue to lead as normal a life as possible.
