Coughing the Distance
with
Cystic Fibrosis

Walter, a 42 years young person with Cystic Fibrosis, made a bicyle trip across Europe to inspire other people with Cystic Fibrosis, their friends and families as well as anyone else with a disability.

The journey became quite the adventure as they navigated their way for 4395 kilometers, across 10 different countries and carrying 1500 pills and other medication for 72 days. Read Walter's full adventure, see Lucas Li's documentary and read the children's book with your children for inspiration. The whole adventure complete with planning phase was documented on a blog and is now viewable in chronological order <here - ride started July 2007> if you are interested! If you like to read it from the time we got out of the plane <click here>. But better still, read the complete story in the book:
