On 5th May 2011 Scarlett Thornton-Timperley was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. She was just over 3 weeks old. Overnight life changed for Scarlett, her Mum & Dad and her two big brothers. After being very poorly in hospital Scarlett proved to be a little fighter and she is now home with her family and we are pleased to report, getting stronger all the time.

 

Along with the thousands of other people affected by Cystic Fibrosis in the U.K. little Scarlett's daily routine consists of a mixture of antibiotics & physiotherapy which are a necessity to keep her healthy and strong.

 

Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. It affects over 9,000 people in the UK alone and as it stands at the moment there is currently no cure.

 

On 3rd July 2011 Kirsten Mitchell & Sarah Moran will be running (hahaha) the City of Manchester 10k to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The CF Trust is the UK's only charity dedicated to Cystic Fibrosis They fund research to treat and cure Cystic Fibrosis and provide support and advice for sufferers of CF and their families.

 

Please, please help us by sponsoring team ‘Scarlett's 65 Roses’. You will be making a massive difference to her life as well as the many other children and adults affected by this disease.

 

Now just have a quick look at the picture of that beautiful little girl and ask yourself will you really miss a fiver?

 

Thank you and lots of love from Scarlett, Sarah, Kirsten & all of Scarlett’s family xxxxxx
