On 7th October I will be running the Windsor half marathon on my birthday! (crazy I know). I have always wanted to challenge myself physically and this is my first step towards doing that. Hopefully if I make it to the end, I may consider doing a full marathon one day....

It wasn't difficult for me to choose a charity to run for. I will be raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. CF is something which affects many people in the world but is not something which many people are aware of. One of my closest friends is a sufferer and she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She never fails to make me laugh or smile and she is a true inspiration and lives life to the full.

A bit about the CF Trust....

Since it was established in 1964, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has actively supported excellence in research and clinical care, as well as providing practical support and advice to people with Cystic Fibrosis and their families. They are the only UK-wide charity focusing solely on CF.

The CF Trust believes that everybody living with CF deserves the best possible quality of life with access to the best quality care and with a real hope for a better future. They will support them and their families to make this happen.

To do this, they fund high quality research to understand CF better and to develop new and better treatments, they set standards of CF care and review services to make sure they are meeting those standards, and they provide information and advice to people with CF and their families.
