Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening genetic condition that slowly destroys the lungs and digestive system. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the only UK-wide charity fighting for a life unlimited, when everyone living with CF can look forward to a long, healthy life. www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  This challenge involves cycling over a 55-mile route that includes the infamous Cat & Fiddle, a 7-mile climb that tests the most robust of cyclists. 

I am raising money for Cystic Fibrosis which is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases. CF 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. Each week 5 babies are born with CF and 3 young lives are lost. 

My daughter Zara was diagnosed with CF at 6 weeks of age.  She is now almost 6 years old and we are fortunate that the treatment that she receives is improving all of the time.  With your help, Zara, and many other children like her may benefit from the advances that research and development can bring. 

In addition to the nice warm feeling that you will undoubtedly have from helping out, you will also have the added bonus of seeing me and Dave 'blowing a gasket' as we will endeavour to publish suitable pictures after the event!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Once again, thank you for your generosity.

Regards

Nash & Dave
