Last year my nephew Ben was born with Cystic Fibrosis, one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases which affects over 9000 people in the UK, including five new babies every week. It affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, clogging them with thick sticky mucus which makes it hard to breathe and digest food.
The CF Trust is a UK charity providing practical support for people with CF and their families, as well as funding research into new medical treatments.
To raise funds for them, I will be attempting the Nightrider 2012 challenge in June. This is a 100km cycle ride through London at night! I will set off from Alexandra Palace just after midnight, heading down to Crystal Palace and back via Tower Bridge, a deserted City of London, Canary Wharf, Hampstead Heath, Piccadilly Circus, the London Eye, Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Battersea Power Station and more. If all goes to plan, I'll be back in time for breakfast (or maybe lunch!).
I'd be very grateful if you would sponsor me for this challenge at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/rew. All funds raised go to CF Trust
