We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness.

About the challenge

The Lakeland 50 & 100 is dubbed “The UK’s Premier Ultra Trail Race”. It starts and finishes in Coniston in the UK Lake District (NW England) over the weekend of 27th & 28th of July. The 50 runs alongside the second half of the 100. 50 UK miles means 80km and includes 3000 metres or 10000 feet of ascent. Find more information at www.lakeland100.com.

I have raced just once before – 10km in 2011. Since then, 7 years of no running until I started training, gently, in October 2018. I joined some public 10km runs in December. It takes time to mobilise an old body like mine! You can follow my progress on Strava.

About the charities

Crohn’s and Colitis UK provides a range of services for those with inflammatory bowel disease. This invisible illness can be extremely debilitating both physically and mentally. The charity provides support for sufferers and their families in their daily problem management, and is a great resource of information about research and treatment.
