UPDATE: The walk is happening Sat 24th - Sun 25th July 2021. Huge thankyou to everyone who has already donated! 

Hi all! I'm planning a 2-day walk from Leeds to Whitby to raise money for Crohn's & Colitis UK. I'm still tweaking the route, but this will be roughly 70 miles, walking via Wetherby, Easingwold, Kirkbymoorside and Grosmont. 

The walk will be in memory of my wonderful cousin Matthew Randell, who passed away 8 years ago. Matthew was loved by so many across Whitby, always making friends and family laugh. Rubbish jokes, great music, loved Star Wars and ran a cracking pub! A bench has recently been built in Whitby in memory of Matthew - I will count my walk from Leeds finished when I reach this bench and enjoy a much-needed sit down! 

Now a bit about Crohns & Colitis UK: They're the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 300,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. They're working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness. More info here: https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/ 

Any donations to this important cause will be greatly appreciated!
