Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I am, once more, embarking on the bike ride from Buxton to Derby this year to raise much needed money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. This a charity very close to my heart as my 2 yr old gorgeous little girl has the desease.
Cystic Fibrosis causes the body to produce thick secretions that particularly affect the lungs and digestive tract. At the moment there is no cure and almost all people who have the condition die in childhood or early adulthood from lung desease.

However, gene therapy, an exciting and promising drug is being trialed which may significantly increase the life expectancy and standard of life of young people with CF. Unfortunately though it only offers to stop the disease at the stage its at in a patient, it cant undo the lung damage already done. Thats why the drug needs to be in production as quickly as possible, before the damage is too great.
The more money raised the quicker this drug gets to the market and the more young lives will be saved.
So please sponsor me. We made over £4,000 last year and my just giving page raised £300. If we could get close to that, or even beat it, that would be wonderful.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
Kind Wishes
