Blain Davis ran 250kms in the Sahara Desert in October 2007 to raise over $35,000 for CF. In 2009, he is running ANOTHER 250km ultramarathon in 6 days, this time in the Gobi Desert. For more information go to www.gobi4cf.com.

Meet my son Jack.  He's 4 years old, full of energy and life.  He loves to wrestle with his dad and colour with his mom.  On the outside Jack looks like any other 4 year old boy.  However, on the inside there is a battle for his life.  Jack has a fatal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis or CF.  It is a disease that primarily attacks his lungs and digestive system.

Three times a day, Jack endures a 1 hour session of inhaling mediations and physio-therapy to help keep his lungs free of infection.  He takes over 20 pills a day to help him digest his meals.

I'm Jack's dad, Blain Davis.  As a father of a son with a fatal disease, I struggle to find something tangible to help my son.  My wife and I are diligent in giving him therapy and medication.  But I have found something more that I feel I can do - RUN.

I'm running through the Gobi desert in June 2009 to help raise research money to find a cure for Jack, CF and for the thousands of other children who have this disease. 

How can I help?
