Well let’s be honest, having Crohns and Colitis is crap. My partner Ellis has had a really hard time in the years I’ve known him. He’s not been in ‘remission’ ever since he was diagnosed. His first hospital admission late 2019 was shocking and sometimes scary. But we made it through with he help of family, friends, and the amazing work from the Gastro Team at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals. 

Without all the research that Crohns and Colitis do, Ellis wouldn’t have the amazing treatment he has now. I hope for a cure one day, which is why I’m walking a 5k to help the charity. Any donations are appreciated but support and positive vides are good too! <3

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.
