What this is all about

Who are we?

The caring, slightly ‘nuts’ aunties of the world’s sweetest little boy who happens to have CF- and their best friend Georgie.

Why are we doing this?

We’re doing this for Silvan, for his lungs, his airways, his digestive system - for his heart of absolute gold. For all the other people battling CF every day.  We are doing this because we will never be ready to accept that this disease can win. They can find a cure, we just have to make sure we do our part to support them until they do.

What is CF?

CF is a genetic life-threatening super mean disease and it starts wreaking havoc at birth - it gradually attacks your lungs and digestive system. The lungs become clogged with thick sticky mucus leading to infections, inflammation and limited lung capacity. Your pancreas doesn't work well either, which means food cannot be digested or absorbed properly. It’s degenerative, so it never gets better - only worse as you grow older. Read more about CF here.

How are we doing this?

We are planning on doing a combination of challenges every month until the end of 2014. We will attempt to run, climb, bike, swim, bake, paint, skydive, sing, give up stuff and most likely make complete fools of ourselves along the way - but we will do whatever it takes to reach our £1,000 fundraising target. We'll be posting updates on each challenge on this blog every month so keep coming back to check on us!
