Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are doing this event to raise money for CF, a charity very close to our hearts. Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening inherited disease, affecting over 10,000 people in the UK. Each week five babies are born with cystic fibrosis, two people die, and many don't reach their 40th Birthday.
Our very good friends Ian and Lisa's children Bethan and Oliver both have Cystic Fibrosis. Bethan is 5 is loving school and has loads of friends (and rumours of boyfriends), she's great company and we love her especially for her mischeivious fun loving ways. Oliver is so cute, he's 19 months now but growing every day, he loves chocolate and running. Thanks to their mum and dad's devoted care and attention they manage to live life to the full whilst coping with the CF and we never cease to be amazed by them!!
Ian and Lisa have to spend time ensuring they receive their regular medication and can spend up to 45 minutes, twice a day, administering physiotherapy to help with their breathing.
With your help we would like raise money for CF to help with the costs of research, medicines and maybe even help find a cure so Bethan, Oliver and all others like them can have a much better quality of life.

We had such a great time on Sunday, enjoying every second! We ran all of it together and passed the finish line with exactly the same time as each other of 1hr 12min 44secs! We came 20697/8th and 1079 and 1080th for our age and gender! Haha. We were very pleased with the time especially given the gloriously hot weather! And that 3 months ago we could only run 2 mins at a time without collapsing! Haha. .
Thank you all so so much for donating! It really spurred us on on the day, and the £ is so vital to CF research. Thank you!! Xx
