Team CF

"We became a family": CF Mamas

Beatriz's son, Yoel, was diagnosed with CF through the heel-prick test in 2020. Now she's joined forces with other CF mums from around the country to raise awareness and funds for Team CF. 

"We discovered that Yoel’s mutations were so rare that he was the only one ever recorded with those two mutations together. That meant he couldn’t benefit from CFTR modulators like Kaftrio.

"I met some other CF mums on Instagram and we decided to start a group, CF Mamas. We became like a small family. We organised a sponsored walk to raise money for the Trust. We each covered 100km - 1400km between us over 6 weeks - and raised £19,000!

"We’re all from different places with different journeys, and our children are at different stages, but when we finished fundraising, we met up in Birmingham and hugged each other, listened to each other, and we just felt for once we were not fighting alone."

Whether you're planning to run, cycle, swim, walk or even abseil down a building in 2022, you’ll be part of a community uniting to make sure everyone with CF can live a life unlimited. Sign up today to take get benefits like expert training tips, t-shirts, medals and much more!
