Running a half marathon will be one of the hardest challenges I've ever taken on. But I want to do it to not only take on the challenge but to raise money for a charity that means so much to me and that does so much for the cystic fibrosis community and their families. As you probably may know my son Parker has cystic fibrosis.

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.
