General information

My name is Sophia
I am 18 years old
I suffer from Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening condition which can control a persons life. it is a genetic condition you are born as it is passed on via genes.

It is a fairly common condition that isn't published often, therefore a lot of people are unaware of what it is and how it affects a person.

Cystic Fibrosis is an internal condition which affects the majority of your body, mainly targeting the lungs, the digestive system and respiratory system. It makes a person vulnerable, meaning they are prone to infections in the lungs; this can lead to a matter of other situations.

Daily medication, physio treatment and other care is needed, including regular hospital appointments and admissions.

Cystic Fibrosis can vary massively in people who suffer from it, a bit like a scale from 1 to 10! However, that does not mean to say the condition is different, it shows that the genes are slightly different, but the impact on each and every one of CF suffers lives is the same.

I have always been into my fitness and sports, I believe it has helped me to be the person I am today and battle through my life long condition. I have decided to share my story and help others that are wanting to get fitter by being an inspiration.

If I can do it, so can you!
