Biography

Kelli was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 8 weeks after failing to gain weight. More information about Cystic Fibrosis can be found at https://www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk/

Kelli takes around 70 tablets a day, has physio therapy and also takes nebulised antibiotics to help keep her condition under control.

Exercise plays an important part in Cystic Fibrosis as it helps to clear the lungs of thick sticky mucus that can cause infection and lead to scarring on the lungs. Kelli began highland dancing at the age of the 3 to help her condition. Now aged 17 and despite all that CF has thrown at her including hospital admissions and decreasing lung fuction, Kelli is still dancing and uses her talent to raise money for the affected by the condition.
