Ben Mudge is known around the world for his inspirational journey with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs.

As an advocate for raising awareness about CF, sharing his story and fitness journey on social media where he has amassed a significant following, Ben has inspired hundreds of thousands of people lead healthy and active lives, and his positive attitude, resilience and commitment to making the best out of any situation is a beacon of hope and inspiration to all of us to squeeze every second of happiness out of each day.

In a life-affirming interview with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Ben discusses the reality of living with cystic fibrosis; how he copes with the pressures of being a role model to fellow CF sufferers, including very young children, and their families; how he’s dealt with a lifetime of uncertainty over his own mortality; the role his parents played in giving him the best childhood possible; his hopes for the future and why everyone, especially men, need to talk more about how they’re feeling.

 And in a call-to-arms for everyone, everywhere, Ben explains the magic of taking yourself outside of your comfort zone, and why everyone needs to be just a little bit braver to experience the sheer joy that comes from trying something that has always seemed just out of reach.
