Having being diagnosed over 20 years ago with colitis, I am delighted to be running my 4th London Marathon (as I did last year’s virtual one too) in support of Crohn's & Colitis UK. I’m also running the London Landmarks half marathon on the 1st August.  There is no known cure and these chronic conditions can be unpredictable, lifelong and potentially life-threatening.  Running has always help alleviate my symptoms so it'll be great to know that when I pounding the streets for the many training miles to come and on both the big days, it's going to be for such a worthy cause.

Thank you for all your help and support - it is much appreciated!
