My WALK IT · 4 July 2020 ·

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.

Story

Let's WALK IT together; stand strong and raise vital funds to improve diagnosis and treatment , to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.

In February 2019 I was suddenly taken seriously ill, I was only 11 and had been completely healthy until then,  after several scary weeks the doctors diagnosed severe IBD/Crohns.  Today, having had 6 surgeries, countless procedures, over a year of treatment, and many months where I couldn't walk properly at all, I am now finally better.  My condition is lifelong but right now I feel good and this is thanks to the amazing NHS workers first at L&D, then Addenbrookes but mostly Great Ormond Street Hospital where the surgical and IBD team have been a huge part of my recovery.

This walk is for a really good cause which is not well known by many people, I hadn't heard about it until l was diagnosed, but more research is needed.  But it will also be a huge achievement for me personally, given how many times it felt like I would never feel like myself again.

Please support me and give whatever you can.
