Yorkshire 3 peaks in memory of Terry
I'm raising money in aid of British Lung Foundation in memory of my Dad - Terry Hanks, who we lost 7 years ago from a relatively rare degenerative lung disease, and every donation will help.
As many of you will know, My dad passed away suddenly in January of 2017 - and this was due to the degeneration of his lung disease - known as pulmonary fibrosis, leading to cardiac arrest.
The name of his condition is known as Pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease where there is scarring of the lungs—called fibrosis—which makes it difficult to breathe. This is because the scarring causes the tissues in the lungs to get thick and stiff and makes it hard to absorb oxygen into the bloodstream.
Currently, there is no cure for this condition. Conditions like this also do not gain the recognition for fundraising and awareness that it needs. With fundraisers like this, maybe, one day there will be a change.
I want to thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
