So why are we doing this? Pretty simple really - to raise bucket loads of cash for a fantastic cause - the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Cystic Fibrosis is the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited disease. It affects over 8,000 people in the UK, with over two million people in the UK carrying the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis – around 1 in 25 of the population.
Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis and each week three young lives are lost to CF.
So yes, we know there is a credit crunch, a recession and the endless banging on of Robert Peston to content with, but if you could fnd even a few of your hard earned sheckles to donte to this exceptionally good cause, we would be extremely grateful
And in 2 months time, as we are knackered, freezing cold and about to be run down by a super-tanker, it would be great to know that it is all worth it for the huge amount of money we have raised
