Now is a fantastic time for Brits to sponsor me!!!!!!

Today the Great British Pound (no Canadians I’m not kidding, that is what it is called!), broke through the US$2 barrier for the first time since 1992.

The exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is similarly beneficial to the British, today’s exchange rate was CAD$2.26825 for £1.  When I arrived in Canada just over a year ago it was around $2 to £1.  So when you sponsor me, your sponsorship will go a long way!

From the BBC’s website:

 

So do you know someone who’s life is affected by CF?

As I say in the information page about CF , this condition is distressingly common in countries such as Canada, the US and the UK.  

Just in case anyone is thinking that they don’t know anyone who’s life is affected by CF, then I can tell all the Brits reading this (that is what us guys are referred to as in Canada!), that in fact you do.  Only if you have had your head buried in the sand for the last 10 years would you not know that Gordon Brown is the Chancellor of the Exchequer and quite possibly the next Prime Minister of Great Britain after Tony Blair steps down.  What you may not know is that last year he and his wife Sarah found out that their son has CF.

You can read about that here.
