The Daily Express coverage of my cystic fibrosis book

I’m in today’s edition of the Daily Express newspaper here in the UK, talking about my book project.

The Daily Express came to visit us the other week to talk to me about my book 47 / A Life With Cystic Fibrosis, our lives as parents to a young boy with CF and the ongoing campaign for access to specialist CF medication here in the UK.

As a dad of a 2 year old who was diagnosed with CF at 3 weeks, I’m incredibly proud of this piece of work. It represents a year of my life and a journey that I, like the people in this book, never expected to find myself on. What I’ve learned is that while CF is unforgiving, relentless and unbelievably cruel it also creates strength, resilience, defiance and an appreciation of life that many of us can only ever hope to find.
