About Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease. This event is held in memory of Nicky West who was a tireless ambassador for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Sadly Nicky lost her fight with CF in 2004, but before she died, she set up the Nicky's Whisper campaign to raise money for gene therapy. If successful, gene therapy will stop the development of the lung damage that claims 90% of the young lives that are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
We are now at an exciting but critical time in the gene therapy programme and desperately need funds to ensure progress can continue. Although too late for Nicky, her spirit and determination remains an inspiration to us all.

Taking part in the game
We are asking players to pledge a minimum sponsorship of £500. At least 50% of the minimum sponsorship must be raised before match day. This can be through a personal donation or sponsorship. All money raised from this event will be used by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to continue funding the science that will save so many young lives.
Spaces are limited, so for more information or to book your place, please call Gemma on 020 8290 8043 or gwoodward@cftrust.org.uk.
N.B. Due to the risks of cross-infection we can only have one player with CF in the team. This will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
