I am running the London Marathon in memory of two people who died too early in life. Both my cousin Jim Fletcher and my close friend John Fosbraey entered their thirties as fit, healthy men leading active and fulfilling lives but both lost brave fights against horrible illnesses. In running and raising as much money as I can for Crohn's and Colitis UK I will honour their memory but more importantly, with your support, I will contribute to the research and development of new treatments which will hopefully save lives in the future. That support will be appreciated enormously.
