“You are born with CF, you cannot catch it later in life, but one in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it.

He added: “The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is working towards a brighter future for everyone with CF by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.”

The pair aim to raise £4,000 for the charity, to support Dominic and Henry on their epic trek visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dom-mills.
