Living with CF
If you want more information on how having CF affects your life then watch 'A Boy Called Alex' on Channel 4 on Thursday 24th Jan at 9pm. This is part of the excellent Cutting Edge series-
Alex Stobbs is a 17-year-old musical prodigy who has been playing the piano since he was three. His dream is to conduct Bach's great choral piece, The Magnificat, before an audience of 500 in the stunning 15th-century chapel of his school, Eton. This is an ambitious task for any teenager. But for Alex, the stakes are much higher. Alex has cystic fibrosis. He has a particularly virulent form of the disease. With each year that passes, his lungs are slowly giving up on him. Last year Alex had a close shave with death when a lung suddenly collapsed. A Boy Called Alex chronicles the 12 weeks in which Alex attempts to achieve his incredible goal.

3 weeks to go
The Hopathon is rapidly approaching and so far we've raised £530 online alone, so hopefully we are on the right track to meet our target! We are also going to have a prize for the person who raises most money, so get collecting!
We're going to have a new feature at the Hopathon this year, a Taxi Dancer Auction! This will be a chance for you to buy your favorite dancer from a selection of marvelous people including members of the CLH Committee and troupe, and they'll be all yours to do with as you will! Please keep it legal! We tried this idea out at our last social dance and raised £205.67!
We now have 27 sponsored dancers-
Mike Amin, Rosie Amos, Maria Andersson, Gemma Barson, Gillian Bates, Gerald Bianchi, Paul and Fae Claydon, Neil Delaney, Martin Ellis, Ros Evans, Sam Flint, Lotte Geldof, David Laban, Toni Laurila, Helen Litchfield, Asif Malik, Claire Newham, Matt Nunn, Phillipa Patterson, Matthew Riddle, Will and Tara Sheldrake, Mirjana Skrba, John Theron, Franck Valentine, Caroline Williams.
As well as people coming to social dance from all over East Anglia.
