Run the BP 5K, fight CF - Hawk Eye

Six months ago a Tuam woman could barely climb the stairs without feeling breathless but thanks to a new drug, the Cystic Fibrosis sufferer successfully completed a 620 kilometre cycle from Malin Head to Mizen Head last weekend.

And now Caroline Heffernan has her sights set on participating in a half-ironman in Edinburgh.

She puts her improved health down to the availability of the drug Kalydeco which she said could have provided a lifeline for some of her CF friends who have passed away in recent years.

Mother of two Caroline (46), has been to the forefront of establishing a centre for CF sufferers in the West of Ireland, did not think that she would ever complete such a feat and described it as a very emotional occasion.

One of the highlights of the four day long cycle was when she passed through Tuam and was greeted by well-wishers and members from local cycling clubs. In all the event raised around 100,000 for Cystic Fibrosis awareness.

In total, 45 cyclists took on the challenge from the top of Donegal to the southerly most tip of the country and Caroline says that she didnt realise that there were so hills in the country. She admits struggling for the last 30k but the memory of some of her fellow CF sufferers inspired her on.

I have been very lucky in that I have been given a second chance. Last November I could not climb the stairs at home without being breathless and coughing. In the mornings I would go downstairs with the intention of not having to go back up.

But I was lucky to get on the trial for the drug Kalydeco and within an hour and a half I knew the difference and here we are six months later I have got my fitness back and got my life back.

It means not having to do the normal treatment and I just take two tablets a day and while there is still a lot of work involved, it has changed my life. I was able to do the cycle and while there were a lot of hills involved, it was an emotional rollercoaster, Caroline admits.

The average life expectancy of a CF suffer is 35 years but Caroline has certainly defied these odds and has vowed to continue raising awareness about the condition and how it affects sufferers.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Texas Rangers center fielder Carlos Gomez is headed to the disabled list and will be sidelined for at least a month with a right hamstring strain.

Gomez underwent an MRI and was examined by team physician Dr. Keith Meister on Monday, when the team was off a day after the outfielder got hurt in a 6-4 victory over Oakland.

The Rangers said Gomez will be out four to six weeks. He will be placed on the 10-day disabled list before Tuesdays game against Philadelphia, when a corresponding move will be made to replace him on the active roster.

Gomez, who had three hits Sunday, scored from second base on Delino DeShields two-out infield single in the seventh inning. Gomez lunged toward the plate to avoid a bat that was still on the ground.

After the game, Gomez said he was going full speed and didnt want to slide because he thought he could get hurt that way.

The Cleveland Indians hope they found the solution to their injury woes in the outfield.

Welcome to The Show, @Bzimmer5. pic.twitter.com/docttMtLTP

The Indians called upBradley Zimmer on Tuesday.Widely regarded as 1A to Francisco Mejias 1B, John Sickels ranked Zimmer hissecond overall Indians prospect,20th overall in his Top 205.

Heres what John had to say about him:

Age 24, hit .250/.365/.425 with 15 homers, 38 steals, 77 walks, but 171 strikeout in 468 at-bats between Double-A and Triple-A; broad range of tools and skills, above-average speed, throwing arm, and raw power he has yet to fully tap; draws walks even when having contact issues, helping his OBP; may not hit for high averages but should be strong secondary average contributor; ETA: late 2017.

Zimmer like his brother, Royals pitching prospect Kyle Zimmer was a first-round MLB Draft pick. The Indians selected Zimmer 21st overall in the 2014 draft out of San Francisco, and now at the age of 24, he is heading to The Show.

The 6-foot-5, 220 pound left-handed bat does a little bit of everything well. While he isnt your traditional five-tool superstar a la Mike Trout, he blends solid defense, decent speed and nice pop into one of the best all-around games in the minors.

Zimmer was slashing .294/.371/.532 over 33 games at Columbus. It was his second stint in Triple-A, neither being enormously large sample sizes, as he appeared in 37 games last season. He added 11 doubles, five home runs and was successful in 9-of-12 stolen base attempts.

His strikeout rate has always been a bit worrisome, and it was no different this season at 29.9 percent. However, he normally balances it with a decent walk rate, sitting at a career 12 percent walk rate entering 2017. This season he is walking just 9.7 percent of the time. Hes also posting a career-best .238 ISO, so perhaps he has been a bit more free-swinging.

Its not fair to think that Zimmer is a .294 hitter, especially when you see his current .405 BABIP. Paired with contact issues in the past, it may also be fair to temper expectations. Zimmer likely won't come in and have a Cody Bellinger debut. That being said there is a lot to like about him He has the tools to be a decent hitter for average, a future 20-20 raker, with solid defense prowess and arm strength.

The Indians arent wasting any time, as Zimmer is set to bat ninth as the starting centerfielder for the Indians in his Tuesday night debut. He has shown the ability to be a top-of-the-order weapon throughout his career. Its scary to think what he could do at the bottom of the lineup hitting into Francisco Lindor and Jason Kipnis.

After dramatically crashing out of the Giro d'Italia during 2016 while fifth overall, Ilnur Zakarin lost out on what would have been the biggest result of his career. The GC specialist has returned to the Giro d'Italia in 2017 with his eyes clearly on a bigger prize.

The 27-year-old Russian rode a Canyon Ultimate at the recent Tour de Romandie in 2017, but also has a choice of the Aeroad model for flatter sprint stages and the Speedmax for time trials.

The eye-catching red and black bike is complemented with a SRAM Red eTap groupset. The wireless electronic groupset operates without cables, with the battery and motors individually located in each of the derailleurs.

The only cables on the groupset run to the front and rear brake respectively and ensures for a tidy and clean looking cockpit.

Zakarin opts for a standard drivetrain combination of 53/39 chainrings, an 11-28 cassette and 172.5 cranks. The crankset is paired with a Quarq power meter.

Zipp provides the 303 wheelset, which is complemented with 25mm Continental Competition ALX tubular tyres.

A DeLand family that has been working for years to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis has been featured on the national Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website as Homepage Heros.

Photos taken at Stetson University of Missy and Mike Woods and their children, Ainsley and Tobin, accompany the online article about the familys involvement in the CF community and their journey with the disease. Tobin Woods, 3, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 2 weeks old.

Mike Woods is on the board of the Central Florida chapter of the CF Foundation.

CF is an orphan disease, in that it impacts a very small portion of the population, he said, noting that a cure is within reach. That cure is within the foreseeable future next 10 to 20 years.

For the fourth year, the family will be participating in the Volusia County Great Strides walk at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 20, in Daytona Beach. The Tobins 200 team has a goal of 200 walkers and $10,000 for the CF Foundation. To date, $7,060 had been raised.

In 2016, the Tobins 200 team was recognised as Top Team Fundraiser at the VC Great Strides walk, for the second year in a row.

The family also has a team for the CF Cycle for Life. Tobins Two-Wheelers will ride through Central Florida Oct. 1 to raise funds for research.

We are so grateful to our amazing friends and family who come together every year to help us get closer to the cure, the Woods family wrote on the Tobins 200 team page.
