Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will be my first charity run, and I thought the British 10k run would be a great place to start, especially considering the amazing route that the run takes. 

The charity I will be running for, Crohn's and Colitis UK, is particularly special to me as my mum was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis over 10 years ago and has lived with both an external and internal pouch. Her bravery and strength throughout the worst times of the illness were, and still are, an inspiration to me and has given me the determinition to raise money for such an amazing cause.

Chron's and Colitis focus on researching the illnesses; providing information to patients, supporting sufferers and their families and raising awareness. Like many Chron's and Colitis sufferers, we do not know what the future holds, however this charity is simply invaluable to all the factors mentioned above.

If you want to learn more about Ulcerative Colitis, I produced a 15 minute film about a sufferer when studying at Bournemouth University, which can be found at this website address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0QG6AFRPlw 

Your donations and generosity are incredibly appreciated by myself, the charity and all the patients around the country, and the world.
