In June 2018 my third son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. As a result, my wife and I have founded the event Stand Up to Cystic Fibrosis (SUP2CF). On 6th June 2020 myself and 100 others will stand up paddle board 30 nautical miles (34 miles) from Weymouth to Bournemouth, all in aid of the CF Trust to help raise funds for research into life-saving treatments.

What is CF?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.
