IPF our son is in at the deep end!

I haven't posted for a while but wanted to share something which I feel is worthy of posting.

As mentioned previously my husband has IPF and until he was diagnosed with it we had never heard of it. Our youngest son Toby, decided he wanted to do something to help raise awareness and funds for The British Lung Foundation so he registered to take part in The Great London Swim 2015 which is an open swim event, one mile swim around London docks and it is happening this Saturday 18th July.

He has been training in the local pool since January and is looking forward to Saturday.

His story can be read on the justGiving website:

Please take a moment to visit his page and have a read, it's his way of raising awareness and also much needed funds.

Even if you can only donate 1.00 it all makes a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I will let you know how he gets on.

Thanks Jill Brown
