About

So Why Run a Marathon when you can run eight. A Marathon in every State and Territory during 2015.

And what a great cause to support by doing so, Cystic Fibrosis Queensland

Sadly my two nephews passed away as a result of contracting the disease. Gerard in 1998 age 15 and his older brother Aaron in 2001 age 19.(both featured above)

A lot of people are not aware of what CF is. In essence it is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian/UK children that affects 1 in 2000 (far higher percentage than I would have imagined). Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects a number of the organs in the body (especially the lungs and the pancreas) by clogging them with thick, sticky mucus. At present there is no cure for CF.

So how about getting behind this great cause by donating a few dollars for each Marathon completed and maybe a bonus at the end when completing all eight. These will have to be done by individual donations along the way, but dont worry, I will remind everyone after each event.(Click on the second photo above to see event schedule)

So all those long hours on the road will be nothing compared to the pain and suffering Gerard and Aaron had to go through with CF.

I only hope I can keep the same positive, and always happy approach that the boys had throughout my journey.
