Hi Everyone  

Thank you for all your support last year. I succeeded in my challenge trek through the spectacular Grand Canyon (hotter & harder than you can imagine! You can see the photo's on facebook) and between us we raised £3000.

This year I plan to raise the same again!

I am taking part in another fund raising Trek to Peru in May 2010 in order to raise another £3000 for Cystic Fibrosis. I will be taking part in the Original Inca Trail - said to be one of the top ten trekking trails in the World! We go through the Andes Mountains to discover the lost city of the Incas - Machu Picchu! One of The Seven Wonders of The World.

I recently started working for the North-West Midlands Adult Cystic Fibrosis Team as an Art Psychotherapist and my work their has highlighted even more my desire to help to raise funds to find better treatments & hopefully to find a cure for this terrible disease. 

As you know my sister, Jacqui Edinburgh has this lifelong and life threatening disease. Over the years Jacqui has had to come to terms with a great deal of loss, loss of health, loss of friends and loss of long cherished dreams because of Cystic Fibrosis. Of course she continues to face these losses and continuing painful & complex health treatments with resilience, courage and hope.

Jacqui is a much loved daughter, grand-daughter, sister, aunty, cousin & friend. Generous and loving and a marvellous cook to boot! It is my wish that Jacqui and other CF sufferers like her will benefit directly from the money raised here. We CAN make a DIFFERENCE!

Cystic Fibrosis research has made many ground breaking break-throughs over recent years for example in gene therapy. (For more information visit www.cftrust.org).
