Story
I am 40 years living with Cystic Fibrosis, diagnosed at 4 weeks old, I want to keep proving to myself that Cystic Fibrosis can't hold me back, I want to raise as much awareness and money for the CF Trust and all CF patients.
I have completed the London Marathon 5 times now with the aim of inspiring people with CF and other life changing diseases that anything is possible if you work hard.
The London marathon is a tough challenge for anybody, let alone somebody suffering with a lung/chest disease, any sponsorship will go a long way to help find a cure for us CF patients.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 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.
