My Story: “Two people whom are very close in my heart are affected by these diseases. One immediate family member, and one very close friend. One with Crohns, one with Colitis. I choose to keep them anonymous for their own privacy.🤍

Up until these diseases came into my life via my loved ones, much like many other people, I did not know that either of these diseases existed, let alone what they are all about! Since then, I have become more aware about what living life with Crohns and Colitis can be like. At the moment there is no cure, however, I want to do something that can help fund the research to a cure, and in the mean time, help those living with these conditions.

I have never climbed Scarfell Pike before. Located in the Lake District, it is the highest mountain in England, sitting at 978 meters above sea level. I would not consider myself as much of a hiker, so this will definitely be a challenge, but I’m so up for it! I would love to dedicate this CLIMB FOR CROHNS & COLITIS, UK.

My fundraising goal is £1,000

I would like to lead the way by making the first donation to my fundraising event, donating £100.

The minimum donation is £2. You may hide the amount donated, as well as remain anonymous if you wish. Any and all donations through JustGiving go directly to the charity.

If every person I send this fundraising link to donates £2 each, I will reach my goal, easily. As Tesco’s great marketing campgain once stated, “every little helps”

I am absolutely thrilled to have 4 others joining me on this meaningful hike in June. If you also wish to sign up, and physically take part in my CLIMB FOR CROHNS & COLITIS, UK. event, feel free to contact me via +44 7497177811.

Thank you for reading my story and for any donations - it really means so much.

Crohns & Colitis UK. Story: “We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis.

Right now, an estimated 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.

Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence.

But they’re not alone.

We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment, and to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.”
