Since being diagnosed with Crohns Disease in 2013 I have always wanted to raise money for Crohns and Colitis UK to help find a cure for the daily battle I am faced with. It's an invisible illness which means although I may look and sound fine on the outside, I can be hiding my excruciating pains on the inside.

I always thought I would run the Great North Run however at this stage I don't feel as though my body would allow me to train for the run. Therefore I have decided a sky dive in Durham will be an easier and more thrilling experience for me.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a chronic disease and there is no cure at this point in time. However, your donation will make a difference to the thousands of people who benefit from the charities information, support, research and campaigning.
