Exercise is so important when you have Cystic Fibrosis for many reasons. So when 18-year old Robbie got in touch with us asking for help to buy a treadmill so he could easily exercise at home during the winter months, we were more than happy to oblige!
He says “My goal is to improve my fitness to the point where I can run the Bath half Marathon next March, and I would love to raise funds for you through this.”
With regards to the impact on his life, he says “Receiving the treadmill from Ali’s Gift has meant I’ve been able to exercise three to four times a week, regardless of the weather, variable motivation and my work schedule. I have already noticed an improvement in my fitness level and my chest generally feels clearer. Additionally, running improves my mood and has therefore made me more motivated to consistently do physiotherapy and take my Medications.”
