50 Kicks for CF – Support Sophia

50 Kicks for CF – Support Sophia 🌹


On 29th May 2026, Sophia is taking on a special challenge—50 kicks for cystic fibrosis.


Sophia lives with cystic fibrosis, a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system, making it harder to breathe and fight infections. Daily life with CF often includes ongoing treatments, medications, and sometimes weeks on antibiotics when her lungs need extra support.


Despite this, Sophia shows incredible strength and determination. She trains in Muay Thai every week, pushing through even when she’s not feeling 100%. Muay Thai has become her way of staying strong—both physically and mentally.

Through this fundraiser, Sophia is raising money to support the cystic fibrosis community—helping fund vital research, treatment, and care for people living with CF.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Please support Sophia and help her reach her goal. 


🌹 Thank you for helping her achieve something so close to her heart.

Day of the challenge

50 Kicks and 50 Punches Challenge Accepted !

Saturday 30th May

What an incredible day Yesterday, Sophia completed her fundraising challenge and not only smashed out 50 kicks, but also threw in 50 punches for good measure! 

The support from her school was absolutely amazing. Her classmates, teachers and friends cheered her on every step of the way, creating an electric atmosphere that made the day so special and helped keep her going right to the finish.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared her fundraiser and supported Sophia throughout this journey. Every contribution helps support the Cystic Fibrosis community, and we are so grateful for your generosity.

A special thank you also goes to Billy, Sophia's Muay Thai coach, for coming to the school and helping her complete the challenge.

This fundraiser has shown us that one child really can make a big difference when they have the support of their school, friends, family and community behind them. We are incredibly proud of Sophia for stepping outside her comfort zone and taking on this challenge, and we are so thankful to everyone who went out of their way to support her along the way.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping Sophia make a difference for the Cystic Fibrosis community.

Just to clarify—it’s Sophia doing the 50 kicks (and she’ll absolutely smash it 💪).

I’ll be cheering from the sidelines selling lolly bags …  because let’s be honest, I wouldn’t last 10 kicks 😂
