I've raised £2500 to Provide funding for medical/physiotherapy support for Preston with Cystic Fibrosis

I will be running the Birmingham International Marathon on 15th October 2017.
For me, this will be a challenge like no other as I have Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis is a life shortening, genetic condition that slowly destroys the lungs and digestive system.
5 babies are born and 2 people die with C.F each week. 50% will not live to celebrate their 40th birthday.
I started running to act as a positive role model for my children, Skye (a carrier of the C.F gene) and Preston (with C.F)
My aim is to raise awareness and encourage others with C.F to be ambitious and chase their dreams.
Nothing is impossible and my wish is that by crossing the finish line I will offer hope to others.
Running has become an essential part of my treatment, helping to clear the thick mucous from my lungs, which attract the harmful bugs which cause lung damage and progression of C.F.
We have to set aside many hours in our day for treatments, including physiotherapy, breathing techniques, oral, nebulised and intravenous drugs.
I am fundraising to support my little boy, Preston, who also has Cystic Fibrosis.
Preston will need continued medical/physiotherapy equipment to ensure he has the best quality of life as he grows into a strong young man.
With CF life expectancy hanging over us, I am determined to provide Preston with the best quality of life so that he can one day step into his mummys running shoes and continue to raise awareness and funds for our C.F. community.
Once my target has been reached I will be donating 50% to the C.F. trust to fund research Into vital drugs and research into a cure.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
