Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the Manchester 10k run to raise awareness of IBD and to learn how to run...have you seen Phoebie from "Friends" run?? hhmmm....

Chrohns and Colitis UK do fantastic work to help improve the lives of those affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the most common forms being Chrohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in June 2009.  There is no cure for this form of the disease and I currently control, the thankfully now rare flare ups, with daily medication.

I am running the Manchester 10k on 20th May 2012 with two of my best friends:-

Janine, who was diagnosed with Chrohn's Disease in July 2011.  It was traumatic to watch my friend deteriorate as a result of having Chrohns.  She had to cancel her wedding as well has having to undergo two operations in quite quick succession, the latter saving her life.  She is a fighter and truly an inspiration which is why I agreed to take part in this event with her. 

Kelly...she is a professional runner and goes to running club and everything! (puts my efforts to shame) but she has a number of friends and family members that suffer from Chrohns or Colitis so the charity is dear to all our hearts.

Any donations no matter how big or small would be greatly appreciated and I would look to thank you in advance for taking time to read this, your donations and support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks
