JURASSIC COAST CHALLENGE (100KM)   -   22 - 23 MAY
For Gemma, and the wonderful charity, Crohn's & Colitis UK.

As many of you are aware, my wife Gemma suffers from Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic bowel condition that affects around 150,000 people in the UK.

After 4 years of battling with the varying and often severe symptoms and treatments that Colitis brings, I wanted to use this challenge as a way to show my admiration, thanks and support for her - and use it as an opportunity to raise money for the wonderful charity, Crohn’s & Colitis UK.

C&C UK run campaigns to raise awareness & change perspectives; work with healthcare professionals to conduct pioneering research; and critically, provide essential information for sufferers - something I know has been a valuable point of reference for us over the last few years.    

Unfortunately, there are no known "cures” for Crohn’s or Colitis. Many treatments are available but no complete solutions have yet been found. Here's hoping that together we can help support C&C charities and researchers find a cure that will help improve the lives of so many.

Thanks for taking the time to read my page and for donating if you can!

(Please be assured that this challenge is "COVID covered". The Ultra Challenge series has a proven model for delivering these challenges during the pandemic, but the challenge can be re-arranged if the worst comes to the worst and your donations will of course still go to C&C UK)
