Story

Aaron was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis through the new born screening tests. He passed away last year on 6th September due to a severe C. Diff. infection.  

During Aaron's short life he was fortunate not to have any CF related complications.  Other children aren't so fortunate and so we are raising money for Helping Hand to support CF children in Northern Ireland in memory of Aaron.

Two weeks before he died his daddy cycled round Lough Neagh for another charity. This year we are completing the 85 mile cycle on 30th August 2015 with members of the CF team and our friends and colleagues from Caterpillar NI, Health and Social Care Board and the HSC Business Services Organisation to raise money for the Children's Hospital.

Thanks for your donation.  If you would like to join us on our cycle, raise some money and keep fit too check out this link:
