Anyone who knows me probably knows my journey with Crohn's Disease as it's not something I'm shy about! I have an ileostomy (Charlie) who I've been blessed with for 5 years, due to emergency /life saving surgery my life changed forever and I couldn't be more grateful. Last year I had more life changing surgery, I had an abdominal wall refashion and a panproctocolectomy. I try and raise as much awareness as possible because Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colotis are so over looked, not enough people realise the severity of these conditions and that is something I'd like to help change.

Last year me and my nearest and dearest did the 10 K WALK IT in York, and helped to raise over £1000! So we'd love to do the same this year at the Newcastle one, any donation no matter how big or small would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou for taking the time to read my story :) x
