Story
OK I've never run anywhere before so this is going to be interesting. I'm doing the 9km bridge run which will take me over a lot of bridges including the harbour bridge and will lead me to the finish line at the Sydney Opera House.
I'm not sure what to expect but its going to need me to lose a lot of weight and get a lot fitter than I am now. So far, through the training I've done I've gone from being able to run 300m to now running 3km. I've lost 12kg already. But I've got a long way to go yet.
I'm running to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. It took my beautiful little cousin Samantha when she was nine. The bravest person I know, my amazing cousin Jamie, has battled with the disease for his whole life. Treatments have improved at an awe inspiring rate and a cure is within sight. A last push and we could get there.
I've never really been fit enough to do anything like this before so this run will be a long overdue debt to this amazing charity. Any support you can give me would be much appreciated.
As a bit of a plug for a friend of mine, I've lost a lot of weight over the last 3 months, one of the things that really helped me was reading a book called "Cutting a finer figure" by my friend Vic. I used it in conjunction with other ideas as well. Its well worth a read and gave me some really useful things to implement. Its only on kindle so if you're like me an just have an iPhone or iPad you'll need the kindle app.
Activity
Cystic Fibrosis New South Wales
Cystic fibrosis (also called CF) is the most common, life-limiting genetic condition affecting Australians. 3,500 people are living with CF in Australia and 1 in 25 people carry the recessive CF gene change.
Babies born today with CF can expect to live well into adulthood. There is no cure but advances in treatment and care are helping people to better manage their CF.
CF causes an abnormal build-up of thick and sticky mucus in the lungs, airways and digestive system. Treatment requires intensive daily physiotherapy to clear the lungs and airways, countless medications and frequent hospitalisations.
Our mission is to promote awareness of CF, provide support, advocacy and information to the CF community, and fund medical research into the fight against CF.
As a member of the national CF federation, we work with the communities of NSW and Victoria. We are a not-for-profit organisation and we rely on the generosity of people in those states for financial and volunteer support.
