💜POWER CHALLENGE FOR PULMONARY FIBROSIS💜

✨ Follow my fundraising Instagram page @powerforpf for information on Pulmonary Fibrosis and my training journey ✨

Pulmonary Fibrosis affects around 70,000 of us in the UK. It is a terminal lung condition which causes scarring to the lungs making them stiffer and smaller. The main symptoms include coughing and breathlessness which worsens over time. 

💜My mum Gail was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2021. As you can imagine, it was crippling news to us all and has had such a massive impact on her life learning to cope and manage this unpredictable and horrible disease. Sadly, mum died on 18th of November 2022. She was only 57. 💜

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis is a UK based charity which supports patients and families and raises awareness of pulmonary fibrosis through campaigning, fundraising and education. They fund research to improve quality of life for people living with pulmonary fibrosis and to find a cure.

So, to raise as much money and awareness for Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis for 25 days in February 2023 I will be running, cycling, rowing and ski-ing, finishing off with a full marathon including each exercise on day 25. 

For example:

Day 1 - 1 mile run

Day 2 - 1 mile run, 1 mile row

Day 3 - 1 mile run, 1 mile row, 1 mile bike erg

Day 4 - 1 mile run, 1 mile row, 1 mile bike erg, 1 mile ski erg

And so on… adding a mile each day all the way until I reach 26 miles and a cheeky stint of 200m of burpee broad-jumps at the end to complete the marathon. 

I know everyone is feeling the pressure of rising living costs, myself included, but if you have anything to spare please consider sponsoring me a few quid for this worthy cause.

Also, if you want to take part with me on any of the 25 days for a bit of moral support you are absolutely more than welcome! 

Thank you
