take a look.
thanks to Gareth Evans for his kind donation.
My journey into the word of Cystic Fibrosis began back in 2006, my beautiful baby girl was born perfect in every way. At the age of 3 weeks old we were told that Taliea had an inherited genetic disorder....Cystic Fibrosis or in our world CF.
Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common, life-threatening inherited diseases in the UK. It affects over 9,000 people and 1 in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis. If two carriers start a family, each child has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.
Only half of those with Cystic Fibrosis are likely to live past their late 30s, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today is expected to live even longer. With every donation the fight to improve CFer’s lives can be improved from care, support, medication and even the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
Taliea is the most special little girl you could ever meet, she is so grounded, inquisitive and curious about the world, and it is Taliea who has inspired me to make a difference to her life and thousands of other CFer’s.
So onto the challenge. The TOUGH MUDDER event is a hard-core 10-12 mile long obstacle course designed by the Special Forces to test strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie (things that Taliea and other CFer's need every day of their lives). This involves scaling large walls, swimming across ice pools and rivers, electric curtain runs and to take it to other extremes mazes of flaming peat bales.
Support in any way you can as every donation can make a difference and push us in the right direction.
Cystic FibrosIS a fight we must win.
