I'm raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis entered our world when our little baby boy, Jesse, was diagnosed at 4 weeks old. This year I want to be able raise funds for this amazing foundation who have and will continue to support our family and the greater CF community for the rest of Jesse’s life.

This year I am going to challenge myself to swim 65km in May up until 65 Roses Day on Friday 27th May. Ocean swimming will be my main goal, but a couple kms will be done in the pool.

I've created this page because I want to support the important work being undertaken at Cystic Fibrosis WA.

Please support them with a donation to my page and share it with friends and family to help me reach my fundraising goal. Every donation will make a big impact.

Thank you for your support.

My Updates

Day 1

Sunday 1st May
From when I first decided to take on this challenge a couple of things have happened… 
The reality of me attempting to do this mostly in the ocean is unrealistic for me. Afternoons are times when my support crew (Noni and Nonna) are able to watch Riley and Jesse. The sun is setting and the ocean is fairly. So the pool will be my main place during the week and maybe an ocean swim in the weekends. 

I should also now have created a team page too! My brothers, Rhys and Ben, have joined the party! Rhys will be swimming the 65km with me though out the month up in Karratha. Ben will be swimming 65laps of his local swimming pool on Friday 27th May, aka 65Roses Day! Words cannot describe how happy and proud I am to have my brothers join me! 

This morning my little family headed down to our local swimming pool to kick start my 65roses Challenge. My husband Chris, Riley and Jesse all set for a splash around in the leisure pool while I tackled some laps. We were met by my Dad, Julie (Nonna) and Chris’s Mum, Leonie (Noni) who came down to cheer me on as I dove into the water! 2.8kms done and dusted! All three boys had a great time and were happily devouring some hot chippies by the time I jumped out!

It’s been 12months now since we found out about Jesse having CF. At the beginning, everything was pretty overwhelming but together Chris and I have gotten Jesse into a happy routine with his medication, salt and Physio.

So what exactly is Cystic Fibrosis? 
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects the lungs and digestive system because of a malfunction in the exocrine system that’s responsible for producing saliva, sweat, tears and mucus.

People with CF develop and abnormal amount of excessively thick and sticky mucus with in the lungs, airways and digestive system. This causes impairment of the digestive functions of the pancreas and traps bacteria in the lungs, causing recurring infections leading to irreversible damage.
There currently is no cure. 
(Thank you to CFWA for this information)

Jesse inherited CF from Chris and I. Unbeknownst to us, we are both carriers for the gene mutation. We have a 1 in 4 chance of creating a baby with CF. There is. A 50% chance Riley might be a carrier. There is absolutely no signs that someone is a carrier of the gene. On average 1 in every 25 people are carriers, this statistic blows my mind!! Unless you had a blood test to find out if you’re a carrier, you wouldn’t even know - as Chris and found out. 

That’s enough CF stats for today! I’ve got 26 more days to go, 62.2km to swim! 

Thank you for reading and a huge thank you to those who have already made a donation to CFWA! If you would like to donate, please follow the links on this page  x
