My Story

As you may or may not know, my partner of 7 years (now fiancée, woo!) has a condition called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the immense challenges that come with CF. However, in the last few years, a revolutionary drug has come into Matilda’s life and completely transformed it. This life-changing medication has improved her lung function, eased her daily struggles, and given us hope for a longer, healthier future together.

But even with this incredible progress, CF is still a part of Matilda’s life every day. She continues to do three hours of physiotherapy each day to keep her lungs clear, and faces other aspects of this condition with resilience and strength. People like Matilda, and others with CF, are incredibly resilient, and it’s their courage that inspires me to do my small part.

To help raise funds for the CF Trust and support their vital work, I will be running the 2025 London Marathon!

Here’s a little more about CF and the incredible work that the Cystic Fibrosis Trust does to support people like Matilda:

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, speak out, and race towards effective treatments for all. We won't stop until everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that 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.

Since 1964, we've supported people with cystic fibrosis to live longer, healthier lives – and we won’t stop until everyone can live without limits imposed by CF.
