This June I will be completing my own My WALK IT Challenge, raising vital funds for Crohn's & Colitis UK. I am aiming (through a combination of running and walking) to cover a minimum average distance of 10km EVERY day in June, and to cover the marathon distance of 42km on at least one of those days. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. And the real number could be almost double that. I am taking part in this event to raise funds and support Crohn's & Colitis UK to help improve diagnosis and treatment, fund research into a cure, raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.
