Story

Ok, this never gets any easier but here goes ..... My beautiful 8yr old  son Ethan has Cystic Fibrosis.  Our lives have never been the same since he was diagnosed nearly 4 years ago.  The things Ethan has to go through every day just to stay well is incredible.  Never a moan or groan  he just gets on with his routine of phyiso, medication and nebulisers.  I admire him every day for his attitude and approach to all the things he has to do.

So now its our turn to do something good for the CF trust, who are the UK’s only national charity working for families with CF and to find a cure. www.cftrust.org.uk

Nick and I have decided to do the 'GRIM' which is an 8mile off road challenge, run,wade, crawl through mud and water on the Army's vehicle testing tracks.  Tough but interesting is how its described..!!

So please help us make it across the finishing line with smile's and tears  knowing ive raised awarness and money for CF.

Big or small .... any donation will be greatly appreciated ....

THANK YOU  XX

About the charity

Cystic Fibrosis ( CF ) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease affecting 8,000 babies, children and young adults. CF is caused by a defective gene that clogs the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, with sticky mucus resulting in chronic infections and inflammation in the lungs along with difficulty digesting food. Three children die from the effects of CF each week in this country. At present there is no cure.
