As most of you may know  me, Tara, her sister Elaine and brother Niall are all running the Brighton marathon for the cystic fibrosis trust. We’re doing this as Elaine suffers from cystic fibrosis,  so we know first hand what it can do but more importantly what the CF trust can do for people suffering. They help improve the lives of everyone with CF (a short description of what CF is below)  so it is a charity that is very close to us, so any donation however large or small are all greatly appreciated.

Now as you must know that my lifestyle choices over the past few years have meant that I spent almost all my time out and down the pub rather than keeping fit so I am a far cry from having the fitness to run a marathon, highlighting the task ahead of me!! That being said from the start of the new year we’ve all decided to pull our fingers out and go for this, giving us just under 16 weeks prep, which isn’t long considering none of us had even done 5k before!! So although our body’s are taking a bartering it’s all for an amazing cause! SO PLEASE GET BEHIND US!! 

Here is a short description of what cystic fibrosis is and what the CF trust does: 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
