My Story
Having lived my whole life with Cystic Fibrosis, I’ve decided to take on a new challenge to raise awareness and funds for this cause that’s so close to my heart. This time, I will be running the London Marathon to help raise £2,500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Training for this marathon won’t be easy, but neither is living with Cystic Fibrosis. Over the coming weeks, I will be pushing myself physically and mentally to prepare for the big race day. Any support, whether it's through donations, sharing my story, or words of encouragement, would mean the world to me and make a huge difference in helping us reach our fundraising goal.
About Cystic Fibrosis:
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system, leading to a range of serious health problems. More than 10,800 people in the UK live with CF, and it is estimated that one in 25 people carry the faulty gene that causes it, often without knowing.
Living with CF presents daily challenges, affecting physical health, mental wellbeing, and lifestyle choices. Despite these obstacles, our community is coming together with one shared goal: effective treatment for everyone living with CF.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is at the forefront of this fight, supporting those affected, funding vital research, and striving to stop cystic fibrosis for good.
Please consider supporting my journey as I take on the London Marathon. Together, we can make a difference!
