Richard Thomas & Carl Barlow

Thomas Jon, a Cystic fibrosis sufferer, can inspire to make
people do the most daring stunt ever…

Thomas’s Uncle Richard, is so besotted with his nephew and amazed how the 4 yr old copes with his daily routine of chest physio endless medications, that Richard also wanted to be brave and face his fear of heights! Richard along with his friend Carl Barlow decided to do a tandem Skydive.

This took place on the 26^th of may 2007 from Swansea
Fairwood airport .
Family and friends of Richard and Carl sponsored them.

They raised £700

The Money raised will go to the:
Swansea paediatric cystic fibrosis clinic, In Singleton
Thank You Richard and Carl for your bravery…

Cystic Fibrosis is the UK's most common life-threatening, inherited disease and affects more than 7500 babies, children and young adults.
Symptoms can include poor weight gain, troublesome coughs, repeated chest infections, salty sweat and abnormal stools.
People with CF are living longer than ever before. Until the 1930s, the life expectancy of a baby with CF was only a few months.
Today the average life expectancy for someone with CF is around 31 years. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects a number of organs in the body
(especially the lungs and pancreas) by clogging them with thick, sticky mucus. At present there is no cure for CF,
but the faulty gene has been identified and doctors and scientists are working to find ways of repairing or replacing it.

The main objectives is to raise funds to purchase equipment for the Swansea Paediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinic.
