My story

I'm running the Marathon de Paris in April 2011 and hoping to raise some money for the NACC.  Fortunately I'm not a sufferer of Crohn's but my close friend Paul is and so this is a charity which is close to my heart.  Furthermore...

Crohn's Disease

It affects approximately 60,000 people in the UK, that’s about 1 in 1000

Between 3,000 and 6,000 new cases are diagnosed each year

Research shows that the number of people with Crohn’s Disease has been rising steadily, particularly among young people.

Common symptoms of Crohn’s:

  • Intestinal bleeding
  • Intestinal ulceration
  • Inflammation
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Fever
  • Chronic fatigue

That’s just for starters.  Once the disease really gets going, these are some of the things the patient can look forward to:

  • Bowel obstructions
  • Abscesses
  • Necrotic tissue
  • Ruptured intestines
  • Fistulas (a tunnel between one organ and another, including the skin)
  • Septicaemia

There are over 100 ailments associated with Crohn’s such as osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer, mouth and eye inflammation, gallstones and erythema nodosum (painful inflammation / ulceration of the skin).

All sounds horrendous to me...

 

So thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NACC gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
