Hello!
I want to dedicate this blog post to all my family and wonderful friends who have helped and participated towards raising money for Cystic Fibrosis for the last 13+ years. This is my way of saying a massive THANK YOU!
Our first charity event was back in 2003 when we had our first coffee morning. It was situated in a small town hall and we raised around £500.
Over the years more and more ideas have sprung to our minds, and in turn close friends and family have wanted to get involved.
Very quickly here are some of the various events we have held:
- Coffee mornings in 2003 - 2008 which raised around £500 at each event
- 2006 took my mum and two friends Roma and Rebecca to the Grand Canyon for 8 days where they trekked over sheer rock descents, river crossings and waterfall climbs. Raising £9,000 between the 3 of them
- 70's and 80's night in 2007 and 2008 which in total raised just under £2,500
- First Tongue and Groove band night was held in May 2009
- Annual Golf Day organised by our friends the Cannings, Priors and Peerless' started in 2009 raising approximately £800 at each event
- In 2011 the first Charity mountain biking event which involved over 59 riders, raising £1,106!
- My dad and friend Burgs cycled from Lands End to Seaford raising a whopping £3,000 in 2011
- In the same year my mum swam the 1 mile British Gas London Swim in the Docklands. Which she repeated in 2012 with friend Susie.
- Tongue and Groove band nights have continued each year since 2009 in total raising around £8,000 so far!
- 2012 bought another mountain biking event which raised over £2,000
- My secondary school raised over £1,200 in a charity Fun Run in 2012
- My mum and friends Sam and Cheryl cycled the London Night ride in 2013 and mum previously cycled it in 2011 and 2012
- My boyfriend Harry and friend Andy ran the Seaford half marathon in 2014 raising just over £400
- My incredible mummy cycled the Prudential Ride 100 miles around London in 2014
- At the end of 2014 my uncle Trevor dyed his hair blue and let it grow for 5 months! Then dyed his beard too and let it grow for an additional 2 months! Raising just over £2,000
- In 2015 our lovely friend Kate ran the South Downs marathon and raised £500
Here are only a few of the hundreds of photos that show the incredible support, and a short description below each picture.

As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from cystic fibrosis , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy son suffered cystic fibrosis in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have shortness of breath , and he always complain of burning in the chest . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cystic fibrosis. I never imagined cystic fibrosis has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.cystic fibrosis has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
