My name is Thomas and I have chosen to participate in the nice and relaxing 26 mile Edinburgh Marathon!!!
I have the best reason in the world for the months of torturous training, painfull blisters and painfull muscles and he is pictured at the top of the page. My son Cameron was born on 29th August 2009 and was diagnosed with a chronic lung condition called Cystic Fibrosis. If like me, you hav'nt heard of this condition before it is a heriditery condition that primarily effect Camerons lungs and digestive system, the result of this is a decrease in average life expectancy to 35. This condition causes his lungs to degenerate and inhibits his bodies ability to digest his food and unfortunatley there is no cure........yet!!!! This decrease in lung fuction can also decrease his ability to carry out normal everyday activities when he is older.
This is where you come in. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust are funding and carrying out research on a cure for Cystic Fibrosis and also treatments to halt the degeneration of the lungs in Cystic Fibrosis sufferers which would ensure that in later life he will have what is deemed anormal standard of living. I will be donating every penny raised to this charity to continue the work they are doing to prolong and hopefully limit the effect of this condition on my gorgeous, happy and cheeky wee boy. The Trust also provide support and guidance to families and friends of Cystic Fibrosis sufferers and myself and his mother Nicola have found the support incredible and the hope it provides to help my Cameron.
So I ask you, and I know its difficult times, from the bottom of my heart to please donate as much as you can to help Cameron, his Mummy and Daddy, gran and grandads, nana's and papa's and aunties and uncle's (yes there are lots of us that love him that are effected by him) and all Cystric Fibrosis sufferers to have hope, to have belief and to be strong.
Thank you x
