British Society of Gastroenterology
BSG 2021 Virtual Fun Run
Fundraising for Guts UK Charity
Story
As part of the British Society of Gastroenterology's 2021 Annual Meeting, which is taking place virtually from 8th - 12th November, we are holding a virtual 5km fun run which can be run at any point during the five days of the conference.
We are asking participants to sign up for the 5km run by making a donation, however big or small, to Guts UK and we invite you to run (or walk!) outside locally, or on a treadmill.
Once you completed your run you can post about the details of it on Twitter and tag @BritSocGastro @GutsCharityUK and #BSG2021.
If you’re recording your run on a fitness app, feel free to share a screenshot of your run. We’d also like to encourage you to share any fun pictures you take along the way!
About Guts UK
Guts UK is the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail; the gut, liver and pancreas.
Guts UK’s mission:
Provide expert information - Information is power! When armed with information, patients can take control of their health and make informed decisions.
Raise public awareness - Our research shows that 58% of people are embarrassed to talk about their digestive condition or symptoms. 51% of people delay seeking advice for their symptoms for over 6 months. When the Guts UK roadshow comes to town, we empower people
to seek help.
Fund life-changing & life-saving research - Guts UK is the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail. It’s time the UK got to grips with guts!
