April Media Roundup

Thank you to all of our London Marathon runners! 

This April, 100 of our incredible #TeamCF runners completed the London Marathon to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Trust! 

Together, they’ve raised £286,000 and some of their inspiring stories have been featured in the media. Bethany who has CF, shared her 10 marathons challenge with Chat magazine and the BBC. You can read her story on our blog too.

Richard, whose colleague’s child has CF, spoke to BBC radio. Connor, who also has CF, spoke to the Ipswich Star and Nick, whose sister has CF, was in This is Oxfordshire. You can also read his story on our website.

The Trust would like to say a huge thank you to all of our runners and everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t do it without you!

Fundraising with fitness 

Fitness instructor Heather, whose young daughter Zoey has CF, held a six-hour fitness challenge and will donate the funds raised to the Trust. 

Heather said “I want Zoey to grow up and live her life safe in the knowledge that cystic fibrosis is not going to hold her back in any way.”

Thank you for supporting the Trust Heather! You can read the story here.

Lakes challenge

Adam, who has cystic fibrosis, is attempting to be the first person with CF to attempt the epic challenge of swimming across 13 lakes in the Lake District, to raise funds for the Trust.

Adam was told that he wouldn’t live to 30 years old, and he was inspired to complete the challenge to celebrate reaching this milestone birthday. 

Adam spoke with the BBC, and said “It's almost as if I've been training for this challenge my entire life from having the PEP mask."

Thank you to Adam for supporting the Trust, we’re wishing him the best of luck with the challenge!
