We’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. And the real number could be almost double that. Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence. But they’re not alone. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment, and to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.

Last year I took part in Newcastle WALK IT for the first time it was difficult for me as I had not walked 5 k in such a long time due to Crohn's flares so I challenged myself, my mum and dad did the walk with me and we succeeded this was such a euphoric moment in many ways I achieved something I thought nearly impossible. we had lots of fun and we connected with other people who go through a similar experience 

Last year I raised £135.00 this has allowed Crohn's and Colitis UK to :

• fund a life-changing call to our information and support lines.
• provide 10 pieces of vital information to help manage life if you are affected by inflammatory bowel disease.
•  helped to fund a full day's research that will improve lives today, and that one day could deliver a cure. 

this year I hope to exceed this amount and raise even more vital funds to support Crohn's and Colitis UK 

every penny counts in making a difference 

so please if you can make a donation to such a vital cause
