Firstly thank you very much for visting my fundraising page.

For those of you that know my sister Steph you'll know a little more about why i'm raising money for the National Association for Crohn's and Colitis but for those that dont. Steph has Ulcerative Colitis which is a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) This is a horrible disease that has been on ocassions life threatening with regular trips to the hospital. Steph will never fully recover from this disease as there is no cure. She has to take pills everyday sometimes upto 30; many of which have nasty side effects, e.g damaging other vital organs....... it is a vicious circle and difficult to manage. Steph is brilliant and puts on a brave face. As I'm sure you can understand having to watch someone close to you suffer without being able to do anything about it is very hard so this is why i'm attempting to run the New York marathon, for my sister and everone else that suffers with this debilitating disease.

Lastly Thankyou! please give what you can it'll mean alot to myself, my sister and everyone else with IBD.
