Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I\'m running the Edinburgh Half marathon this year to raise money for Crohns and Colitis UK. As a dietitian this charity provides support for many of my patients and also close friends I have who have IBD.  

Crohn\'s and Colitis UK aims to improve life for everyone affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the most common forms being Crohn\'s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Together these conditions affect about 250,000 people in the United Kingdom.

The charity brings together people of all ages who have been diagnosed with IBD, their families and the health professionals involved in their care. This year they are focusing on the devastating impact Crohn\'s and Colitis can have on young people. Just some of the challenges young people face include: falling behind in education, struggles with employment, difficulty maintaining a social life and relationships and moving from paediatric to adult health care.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So help make all the blood sweat and tears that have been my training worth it and please dig deep and donate now to help those with IBD to continue to access the help and support they deserve to live life to the full :)

Thank you
