Celebrities, actors, sporting stars & other high profile peeps in many countries have taken the 'Breathe With Me' Strawfie Challenge
Ricky Whittle - English actor (Hollyoaks, Mistresses USA, American Gods)
Danny Fox - Football player. Regular supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Danny took the challenge as he has himself experienced losing a friend to CF.
“My really good friend Paul Williams died from this horrible condition at just 26 years old in November 2012, the same age as me,’ Fox said.
“We were devastated. It is through Paul’s grit and determination not to let cystic fibrosis define him that I realized I should do everything I can to change things.
“I want to help raise awareness and funds to stop cystic fibrosis from cutting people off in the prime of their lives.”
Marlene Favella - Mexican actress Marlene, played Sister Eva in Ugly Betty and 'Esmeralda' in TV series Zorro. She is a staunch supporter of the Mexican Cystic Fibrosis Association (Asociacion Mexicana de Fibrosis Quistica).
