Crohn's Disease has no known cause and is incurable. It is an auto immune disorder that attacks the bodies digestive system, often with serious and life changing consequences for the suffer.

I know this because I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1993.

Crohn's & Colitis UK are an amazing charity that provide research funding, education and support for suffers and our families. They have been invaluable to me since my diagnosis.

The Paris Roubaix Challenges (aka The Hell of the North) is 100 mile ride across the fabled cobblestones of northern france. This will be done on a road bike (not a comfy mountain bike) and is usually in grim weather. In short I'm prepared to suffer for your support.

Check out this video and pictures if you want to see what I'm in for :-)

This event is 100% funded by me with every penny going directly to Crohn's & Colitis UK.

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you.
