Story
I did my climb up Mount Errigal in Donegal yesterday, took 4 hours up and down it was harder than I thought it would be but I was determined to reach the top and yes I made it. It looks like total raised for this fundraiser is £986.73 - The final sponsor money is now now in. So my new target is £1500.
Watch out my next fundraiser is climbing Croagh Patrick in County Mayo in the west of Ireland - watch this space!"
My story is that I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease at the age of 22 as an emergency at A&E after 5 years misdiagnosis. I had a section of my bowel taken seton sutures put in place for perianal abscesses and had an ileostomy for 8 months now reversed. It was a horrendous time my weight dropped to 6 stone 9 and I was fed through a tube down my nose into my stomach and was the worse time of my life. I am a lot better now but I always have the fear that this awful disease will strike again at any time.
I am doing this climb because we need a vaccine ASAP to hopefully cure this awful debilitating disease.
