"TJ now in Year 2 faces the new year with the "head" of an excited 6  year 
old yet with a  "body" ravaged in daily battle with Crohn's  Disease and 
Ulcerative Colitis. Two conditions he hopes you never have  to face in 
your life. These are 2 of the least known diseases  affecting children but 
yet 2 of the most devastating - a long term  condition that causes so much 
harm to the young body. As a Mother it  breaks my heart every day."

 CICRA (Crohn's in Childhood Research Association) is dedicated to 
creating a wider understanding of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative  Colitis, 
collectively known as Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)  particularly as it 
affects children and young adults. This relatively  new charity provides 
support for sufferers and their families and  raises funds to support 
medical research aimed at finding more  effective treatments and 
ultimately a cure.

 A group of us, prompted by our friendship with Jax, TJ's mother, have 
grouped together to try and raise awareness and funds for this  incredible 
charity. After the coffee morning, 6 of us are running the  Great South 10 mile Run on 27th 
October and also organising a charity curry  night  (TBC) 
at Newick Tandoori (tickets to be on sale at the  coffee morning).

The coffee and cake morning on FRIDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER is open to  anyone, 
so please tell your friends, families and neighbours to come  along 
between 8.30 and 11.00 am, where Trading Boundaries have kindly  agreed to 
donate 50% of all takings during this period to CICRA.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible for lots of chat, 
coffee and cakes.

Best wishes, from all of the team.
