Raise vital funds for the Polyposis Registry to help prevent Bowel Cancer, and to help fund research and education at St Mark's Hospital, a world-leading specialist bowel disease hospital

Story

Im raising money for the polyposis register at st marks hospital. 

I was diagnosed with serrated polyposis syndrome in 2013, which came as a complete shock to me. Following being told that i had IBS. 

I was told by consultant that it was a very rare condition and only recently recognised as a cancerous pathway. Not much is know about serrated polyposis symdrome. No genetic testing is available and it came down to the knowledge of the consultant doing the exam. Which luckly for me was a consultant who is in contact with st marks polyposis centre. 

I under went a total colectomy in 2015 in manchester and had a loop illeositomy and a j pouch created

I want to raise money to help fund vital research into the condition.
