Story
We walk 10,000 steps every day of the month (plus lots of mini events through the month) to raise money for Cystic fibrosis charities.
We are a team of people each individually affected by Cystic Fibrosis. Mostly from Ayrshire, Scotland however you can take part anywhere in the world!
10,000 is the (rough) number of people in the UK diagnosed with CF. It's also the recommended daily amount of steps to sustain a healthy lifestyle, which is very important in a person with CFs life!
I organised this event in 2018 after the passing of my best friend. Myself and so many of his loved ones watched him power through a very difficult and life limiting disease for his entire life. We walk and raise funds now in his memory, to prevent others having to suffer like he and so many others do on a daily basis. There is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis, and this fund will support research which has made great strides in the last few years, by donating to The CF Trust. The Leanne Fund will receive the other half of the donations, and they support local CF patients by providing care packages to hospitals (where CF patients have to stay in isolation for 2 weeks regularly throughout their lives), they provide gym memberships (as fitness/ physio is very important), pay for trips and excursions for patients and their loved ones, and so much more.
All proceeds raised will be split 50/50 between THE CF TRUST and THE LEANNE FUND.
We started in 2018 and have raised almost £4000 so far. This year the goal is bigger and better than ever! Will you support us?
