Thanks for visiting our fundraising page please take a minute to read the below and if possible please make a donation - whatever you can afford really will be appreciated!

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease affecting over 8,000 people in the UK.

Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population. If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis. Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system making it hard to breathe and digest food.

Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.

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.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust funds research to find an effective treatment for CF through gene therapy.

The work that the charity does is very close to my heart and we really do appreciate anything you can donate to help us reach our target.

And if that isn't enough for you the thought of me bricking it with late great Father Kieron hot on my tail at 120mph has got to be worth something!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Jake (yes the one and only Hollyoaks Father Kieron) and I want to thank you for taking the time to read this page and your support- please sponsor us now!
