Thanks for taking the time to come and look at my JustGiving page for CICRA donations. Unfortunately the government have in their wisdom made it so that the Gift Aid declaration each person makes when they donate on JustGiving can only apply to one charity. I therfore have another page for NACC donations.

Sorry to make it more complicated, however if you would like to pledge to CICRA then use this page, but if you would like the donation to go to both charities (and I hope you do) then please could you split your pledge between them. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Now then, those of you who have come straight here from my website know all about what I am doing and why I am doing it (although when it's 6 degree's C and I'm about to plunge into the Thames in the dark at 6 am I do question my own sanity). 

Those of you who have come straight here, please take a look on www.hughsbigswim.com and you'll find out all about my swim.

On behalf of the charities, I can't thank you enough for your support. Along with raising much needed money for research, treatment and of course support to sufferers, we are hoping to raise the profile of Crohn's and Colitis to help people like my niece Holly.

Wish me luck.
