In January this year, after 3 years of this disease being in remission it reared its ugly head with a bang. I faced a long 10 weeks of pain, treatment and rehabilitation in hospital. I have battled Crohn’s for more than half my life and this is why I have decided to take on the Birmingham Crohn’s and Colitis WALK IT 10k.
Not only to prove that this disease does not have control of me but also to raise awareness and raise vital funds.
There is currently no cure for this disease and every penny that goes into research will help thousands of people like me who suffer every day.
I have kindly involved my best friend, Naomi, who has joined my walking team!
Let's WALK IT together; stand strong and raise vital funds to improve diagnosis and treatment , to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.
