I am raising money for this trust because I want people (not to just donate there money) to become aware of Cystic Fibrosis and understand what it is. Like myself I had never heard of this let alone know what it is until a boy called Oliver was born.

For people who don't know what Cystic Fibrosis is please read:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening inherited disease, affecting almost 10,000 people in the UK.

People have cystic fibrosis because a faulty gene is passed from the parents to the child.

This gene controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your cells, so the lungs and digestive system become clogged with mucus, making it hard to breathe and digest food

Cystic Fibrosis cannot be caught or developed. If you are not born with CF you will never have it, but YOU could be a CF gene carrier.

More than two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene - around 1 in 25 people.

There is currently no cure for CF but many treatments to manage it including physiotherapy, exercise, medication and nutrition.

Each week 5babiesare born with CF and 2 people die.

More than half of the CF population in the UK will live past 41, and improved care and treatments mean that a baby born today is expected to live even longer.

I one day want to read that CF finally stands for Cure Found.
