Charity
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.

nicaz motorcycle madness
This is the first (and probably the last) time we’ll do this. Go on an adventure, risk our necks, risk our relationship and raise as much money as possible for charity...
On October 14th we set off to INDIA to ride 1300km IN 7 DAYS together on a rickety ‘Royal Enfield’ 1950’s style motorbike. We start from Delhi then head up to the Himalayas, the border of Tibet and back along the Ganges. Oh and Cazza is onboard photographer, just imagine the pics you'll get to see.
100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES TO THE CHARITY. Thank you.
We are raising money for the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRUST, a charity close to our family so please give as generously as you can.
*** URGENT C F TRUST desperately needs funds to finish tests into a gene therapy treatment which will save lives. They are so close to achieving success after 10 years but must raise £6m by autumn or the programme will grind to a stop and all the work will be in vain. Please take a moment to read the link to the guardian story below ****

I don’t think we’ll be making a habit of this and no Caroline won't be naked.
love, love, love,
nic and cazza
