Charity

Cystic Fibrosis Trust - The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK's only national charity dealing with all aspects of Cystic Fibrosis. It funds research to treat the symptoms of CF and to find an effective treatment. It also aims to ensure appropriate healthcare for those with Cystic Fibrosis and provides information, advice and support to people with CF and their families across the UK. Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common, life-threatening diseases in the UK. It affects over 9,000 people and 1 in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis. If two carriers start a family, each child has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick, sticky mucus making it hard to breathe and to digest food. People with Cystic Fibrosis have to endure a rigorous daily treatment regime including physiotherapy to clear the chest, inhaled and injected drugs to thin the mucus and fight infections and dozens of enzyme pills to help digest food. Each week, five babies are born with CF and sadly, each week three young lives are lost. Only half of those with Cystic Fibrosis are likely to live past their late 30s, but a baby born today can expect to live longer. We seek to continually improve standards of care for people with CF; we commission cutting-edge clinical and scientific research; and provide practical and accurate information to people with CF and their families. None of this would be possible without the support of the CF community and the generosity of the public.

Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

Please sponsor me for as much as you can afford for me to stay in Raf Holmpton a Haunted underground bunker for the night.

RAF Holmpton is a vast 35,000 sq ft bunker almost 100ft underground it is still a part of the RAF and even today there are restricted operational areas inside the building, which also hosts a major Award Winning Public Exhibition.Click on the link below to visit their website and have a look for yourself where i will be staying.I highly recomend a visit on their website and in person.www.rafholmpton.com

 

I am going to spend the night all alone underground in this bunker. It has got quite a reputation for being haunted and has been investigated many times myself included on two seperate occasions and it was extremely frightening, a few things i experienced there were i could hear voices in conversation, footsteps walking the corridors, doors slamming,shadow figures moving around and many other things. Then i was with a group of people and i was scared now im going it alone.

Please donate anything you can afford to give every little counts.

Many thanks....Mark.   

Fundraising has now finished, but thanks for visiting this page.
