I am Ewan. I am 4 years old and I have Cystic Fibrosis. I am a funny, kind, caring little boy who loves spending time playing, being outside and with my friends and family. 

Last year I completed my first Mini Great North Run and really enjoyed it. I am signed up to do it again on 10th September and will be training to be able to complete this. 

Running can be a challenge for people like me with CF due to CF affecting our lung function but the more exercise I do the healthier I should be.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing. Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.
