Eva's Gymathon
Fundraising for Crohn’s & Colitis UK
Story
Eva's Dad has suffered with Crohn's Disease for the past 17 years and sadly in that time no cure has been found. Eva has seen her Dad go through bad times with the disease and is taking on this personal challenge to help find that cure.
For those that know Eva they won't be surprised to hear that she loves a challenge. Well, Eva has certainly set herself up for a BIG challenge. She has come up with an 8 hour gymathon of calisthenics training which uses gymnastic elements to build up strength, endurance, agility, balance and flexibility . This will push Eva to her limit and would be a massive challenge for anyone let alone a 10 year old!
The facts:-
Colitis and Crohn’s are bowel conditions which can have a devastating impact on every area of life and currently have no known cure. Around 300,000 people in the UK have Crohn's and Colitis, and more than half are diagnosed when young.
