Hey, just wondered if we have any people with Cf here who would consider themselves 'athletes'? I am 24 wcf and just ran the London Marathon in April, and after having got in touch with some other athletes with Cf across the world (some who have done marathons, triathlons and Ironman), I was considring the idea of setting up some fundraising initiatives that involve athletic events. I mean like organising runs, walks, hikes, soccer/basketball/hockey matches (whatever) etc. in various locations worldwide. Obviously physical exercise is very important for people with Cf, and encouraging and inspiring young people to get involved early on can be of real benefit to their health with Cf later. Also, I have read that continuing cardio-vascular exercise is of considerable use to adults with CF, but that once you stop, it is difficult to get back into it.
So, in the light of this I just wanted to hear people's reactions to setting up a charity/website (I was thinking of calling it CFathletes.org) and getting some events underway. Does anyone have any comments, suggestions, preferences, ideas, criticisms, feedback of any sort??? Does this sound like a good idea?
