After a year off, it's time to see I can still do the distance. 

For nearly 10 years I have watched my best friend Holly deal with Crohn's disease: endless operations, hospital appointments and doctor visits, recently whilst also being an incredible first time mother. She suffers in silence and is an absolute hero who just soldiers on regardless like so many people who are coping with this invisible illness.

This isn't a well known charity, this isn't a disease that you probably know a lot about but it is something that has a massive impact on thousands of day to day lives and so I am determined to raise more awareness in any way that I can (unfortunately running is one of the only things that I am relatively good at so here I am again). Google the charity, read up on the disease or even better spare some cash and donate! 

Please, thank you and big love to you and yours.
