Great North Run · 10 September 2017 ·

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

Helllloo!! As you all know I have Crohns Disease, I have had this illness for 18 years, it is not nice, but hey it is what it is, I have to fight it!! Crohns disease causes: fatigue, joint pain, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, ulcers, weight loss, weight gain, sickness,  and anaemia. There are times when I flare up and I have probably majority of these symptoms all at once. How I would explain my illness?  like having a 24 hour tummy bug with vomiting and diarrhoea but not just for 24 hours It lasts for months, however I feel like I am one of the lucky ones, some people may have to have operations to remove their bowel,(i nearly had this 7 years ago)people have to be feed using tubes and can be in hospital for months and months, and unfortunately it can be fatal, I am not gonna beat round the bush on this  THERE IS NO CURE!!!!  I am running the GNR 2017,to raise money, to raise awareness and to show people and myself that, yes I have Crohns disease, but Crohns does not have me!!!. Please Please Please sponsor me I would be do grateful. Thank you for taking time to read thisx
