Jurassic Coast Challenge 2021 · 22 May 2021 to 23 May 2021 ·

We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness.

Story

On 15th of February 2021 our good friend Jo Hollingsworth passed away leaving her partner Mike and their young sons.

Jo was such a special woman; interested and interesting. She loved nature and she loved a good walk! Jo suffered with Crohn’s Disease and whilst this didn’t define her as a person, it was something that she coped admirably with on a daily basis.

Jo always liked to know what mad thing or which charitable cause Sam and I were championing and we think she’d be fully behind us on this Ultra Walk raising money and awareness for Crohn’s and Colitis UK. 

We will be walking a whooping 58KM’s in one day on the Jurassic Coast from Corfe Castle to Weymouth on Saturday 22nd May. It’s going to be tough. But no tougher than living with an incurable disease like Jo did. So this one is for you Jo!!!

There is no known cure for Crohn’s but hopefully, one day, with more research there will be. Please give generously - we appreciate your donations more than words can say. 

Love 

Sally and Sam xx
