Thanks for visiting my skydive page!
On the 22nd of May 2010 I will be doing a tandem skydive in order to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust!
I will jump from 15 thousand feet and freefall for nearly 1 minute at speeds of about 140 mph! ARGHH!!!
I think that it is a very worthwhile cause that could affect any of us, and so I really hope that you can dig deep and sponsor me!
A little about Cystic Fibrosis.........
- 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.
