Stormont Big Bounce took place on Halloween last year and was a great success, so we've booked the venue for Saturday 26 June 2010 - are you up for the challenge? Northern Ireland's Parliamentary Buildings are reached by a one mile majestic driveway; can you bounce all the way? We will supply the space hopper - you just need endless energy, enthusiasm and some sponsorship (minimum £30)! If that's you, please register your interest today - either email or call the Events Team on events@cftrust.org.uk or 020 8464 7211.

Organise your own Big Bounce

Big Bounce is all about bouncing on space hoppers... trampolines... balls... pogo sticks... anything that bounces! The key is to get creative with your bouncing. Your event can be held at your school or in your local village hall, but if this is too tame why not try some of these exciting ideas:

• across bridges and back
• a race on a grand driveway to stately houses or castles
• a lap of a racecourse
• along a seafront promenade or the beach
• through woodland trail / disused railways
• around the grounds of stadiums

So what to do on your bounce? Create an assault course, bounce at work, hire a bouncy castle, create a race, set up obstacles - there are all manner of challenges you can set. For more ideas and further guidance on organising your own event download your 'How to organise a Big Bounce' factsheet.

Exercise is important for everyone to stay healthy, but it is particularly important for those with Cystic Fibrosis - the fitter and healthier a person with CF is, the easier it is to fight off illness. Bouncing is a fun and easy way for people with CF to exercise and also helps to clear mucus from the lungs, which can attract infection. So what better way to raise money than by bouncing yourselves.
