My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Born Dec 26th 1983. On Friday the 13th of August 1985 I was handed a death sentence, that being the diagnosis of the genetically inherited disease Cystic Fibrosis, which causes progressive lung damage and for which there is currently no cure. In January 2010, a severe bout of pneumonia caused a massive decline in my health and I was in and out of hospital on a monthly basis and was reliant on supplementry oxygen. In November 2010 I was referred to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle to be assessed for a double lung transplant. On January 7th 2011, I was placed on the UK’s active transplant list.

Words can't explain the whirlwind of emotions that you go through whilst waiting for a transplant. I knew the statistics, it could take days, months, years even to find a match and I could die waiting. But I’d come so far and wasn’t ready to die yet even though at 27 years of age I was been told in no uncertain terms that without a transplant I would die. I was staring my own mortality in the face.

I waited 7 months and 27 days with two false alarms during that time. Then in August 2011 my life was to change forever. I recieved the phone call that didnt just save my life, it gave me back my life.

So now I want to give something back, i want to use the gift of life that i so greatfully recieved to help other's in my situation. CF is a cruel disease that takes far too many young lives so please help me to make a difference!

From the bottom of my heart

Thank you xx
