My Story

Randomly, I've always quite fancied running a Marathon as it seems like a really awesome achievement.

In reality though, having Cystic Fibrosis means I don't have the health or the lungs 🫁 to complete a Marathon! But, because I don't like CF dictating my life, I've settled on walking a Marathon as my 'bucket list' equivalent.

That's one thing about an illness like CF, however positively & proactively you approach things, sometimes there's no avoiding the impact it can have; on your choices, your actions and at times, on every damn detail of your day!

So, with some epically great friends, on Saturday 26th June we're walking a marathon along the Suffolk Coast and raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust do some really great stuff which I've benefitted from directly: there's the help they gave with the costs of medicines when I was first diagnosed, their resources for children about having a parent with CF that we've used and then there's all the research into drugs, medicine and therapeutics which is what makes a real difference to my ongoing health.

So, please sponsor us if you can to support the CF Trust in their good work for us CF'ers and our families!
