Story
Right, time to shake of some Christmas pounds! On the 19th of April I’m planning on running the Brighton Marathon. I’ll also be aiming to raise a bit of money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.As many of you may know we lost one of our best friends, Shaun Pascoe, to cystic fibrosis last year. So as a tribute to Shaun I’ll be running for the CF Trust. It’s a fantastic charity that provides funding and care for people suffering with CF and gives support to their families.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.
