My Story

When Devon was three weeks old we had a phone call regarding the results of Devon’s heel prick test, we went up to the children’s hospital where they told us Devon had a positive test result for Cystic Fibrosis. This was a huge shock to us all as Dave and Myself are both carriers of the faulty gene that causes it but we both had no idea. We are hopeful that it is only a mild case of CF but are still awaiting tests and results to confirm this. We are so so proud of our strong little boy and will do everything to help him along this rocky journey. 

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lifelong genetic condition affecting more than 10,800 people in the UK, there is currently no cure. People who have CF are born with it and usually both parents carry the faulty gene that causes it, normally they will not be aware they are a carrier. The gene affected by CF controls the movement of salt and water in and out of cells, this means that people with CF experience a build-up of thick sticky mucus in the lungs, digestive system and other organs, causing a wide range of challenging symptoms affecting the entire body. 

Friday 16th June 2023 is wear Yellow Day in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We will be having a mini bake sale on Saturday 17th June as well as a few other bits for sale to raise money for the CF Trust. The money raised will help create a brighter future for people facing the challenge of CF, including my brave little boy, so let's all come together, Wear Yellow and unite for a life without limits. If you would like to join us on Saturday please message me for more information. 

If your able to please donate to our fundraising page for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. With your support this Wear Yellow Day they can continue to fund research into life-changing treatments that work for everyone with cystic fibrosis (CF). Together, we can ensure children with CF like our beautiful Devon can look forward to a brighter future.

Thankyou💛💛💛
