Wow, The Dutch SBS radio is calling me up for a telephone interview! Very exciting to get press on my endeavours!

And I found an entry in the Guestbook today from a person called Brinda!

I wrote her back:

Thank you very much for your kind words! I am sooo looking forward to cycling every day for 70 days! I am hoping to take it easy, and am hoping to spread some positive vibes surrounding Cystic Fibrosis! With a little luck the press will pick up on this and spread the news that living with CF also has good points! For instance I can eat MacDonald's in between meals and order deep fried food and add extra salt on doctors orders! Cholesterol is rarely detectable with PWCF! And although I cannot work I have to do fun things to stay healthy, like kayaking and walking in the bush, backpacking, and taking photos! OK, so I cough a lot and take a bunch of pills, but no migraines, no fits, no dementia (apart from a male brain) some indigestion perhaps and the odd lung infection! Still, great excuse to let the wife earn a living (she is a medic!).
