I Run For Cystic Fibrosis

The 'I Run For Cystic Fibrosis' Virtual Challenge is for all those that support the brilliant work that the Cystic Fibrosis Trust do. We need to do all we can to not only spread awareness of this debilitating disease, but also raise funds. By simply logging your miles from a run, you are showing that you are committed to helping rid the world of Cystic Fibrosis. Remember to share your runs on social media and let the world know that you are moving to support a fantastic cause. At the conclusion of the Virtual Challenge, I will be embarking on my biggest personal challenge yet, I will be running from London To Edinburgh in 10 days for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust. You can find more about this challenge on my profile page.

Every week 5 babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disorder that is passed on through the genes when two people with a certain gene type reproduce. Children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis have difficulties digesting food and struggle with even the basic essentials of breathing and eating.
Cystic Fibrosis causes a sticky mucus membrane to develop on the digestive tract and lungs meaning a life in and out of hospital and constant medication. This causes a shortened life expectancy and daily upheaval not only for people with CF but the parents and loved ones living with suffers. 
Eventually CF sufferers need life saving organ transplants, and can spend years looking for suitable donors, sometimes this never is possible.
