We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness.

Story

<p>So last year, a few of us cycled round all 33 London Boroughs in 1 day to raise money for Crohns and Colitis.&nbsp; It was pretty challenging, but very good fun and we raised nearly &pound;1500 for the charity.</p> <p>This year we're doing it again, and there'll be even more of us (I know it says "I'm" at the top there - ignore that).&nbsp; This year's ride is all the more poignant as we're raising money in memory of the unforgettable and irreplaceable Jim Fletcher, who passed away last May.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jim meant a huge amount to everyone who knew him, and I was lucky enough to have him as a friend since secondary school.&nbsp; His humour, generosity, kindness, intimate knowledge of Cricket and Rugby and cooking skills will be missed by us all.&nbsp; Last year's ride was in fact the last time I saw Jim up and about before he went into hospital, when he provided us all with much needed sustenance about 1/2 way round the route.</p> <p>We're riding on Saturday the 21st April, and <a href="http://g.co/maps/gud86">the route</a> is more than 100 miles, around everything London has to offer, from grotty industrial estates to canal tow paths, from Tourist Attractions to unknown back streets.&nbsp; We'll be finishing up at <a href="http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/thefeatherswestminsterlondon/">The Feathers</a> in Westminster some time after 4, so do come and join us to see us over the finishing line.</p> <p>And please, donate what you can!</p>
