I'm running my first ever marathon in memory of my friend Freddie White who sadly passed away in 2024. Freddie lived his whole life with CF and was an inspiration to so many people.

He is still missed by friends & family everyday and I'm sure he'll be on this journey with me every step of the way.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.
