Louise's Zipwire Challenge

October 14, 2025

Louise Crookes recently accomplished something truly inspiring - she bravely took on a thrilling Zipwire Challenge to support our charity. As a dedicated community respiratory nurse, Louise was determined to test her limits, and in doing so - not only did she conquer the zipwire, but she also raised an impressive £320 for APF!

Louise shared her motivation for fundraising for APF: 

"I have the privilege to be a community respiratory nurse, working for Medway Community Healthcare. My colleagues and I support our patients with the Medway Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group and through our amazing respiratory team service. I am honoured to be there for our patients and their families at what can be the most challenging and emotional time in their lives, and I am keen to raise funds to help support research and raise awareness of this life changing diagnosis."

Louise Crookes

"I see and hear the challenges our patients and their families face every day. Therefore, I thought it was time to push myself out of my comfort zone and challenge myself while raising money and awareness at the same time."

Lou takes the big leap! 

"I aim to set a bigger challenge next year and hope my wonderful patients, colleagues, friends and family will support me again in my endeavour."

Feeling inspired by Louise’s incredible feat? Step up and take on your own epic challenge for APF! Head over to our Challenge page to discover exciting events happening across the UK - your adventure awaits!
