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

I'm over the moon that we have such a fab group of people running as part of Team BB!

I wanted to take this opportunity to share my daughter Beatrice's story with you...

This time three years ago, a few weeks before her 6th birthday, Beatrice was in hospital and had just been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis a serious life long condition.   She had lost a third of her body weight, was incredibly anaemic and in a lot of pain.  It was horrific and life-changing time for us all but with round the clock care at the Royal Free hospital, after a few days, Beatrice began to respond to treatment and slowly began to recover from what was a major flare.  She still has to take medication daily but we are doing everything we can to ensure that she lives a normal life. Beatrice's courage, confidence and positivity has been and continues to be an inspiration to all her family and friends.  

Crohn's and Colitis UK fund vital research into IBD, provide essential services across the UK and raise awareness of this hidden disease.   The work they do and support they give to people affected by IBD is incredible.  Please support us in taking part in this very special event.
