A Charity walk in Aid of Chron's and Colitis UK.

Derek and Ellie are taking on a new challenge combining two of their favourite things, cricket and walking.

On Saturday 1st April They will start walking from Alnwick Cricket Club leading on to their home ground, Alnmouth Cricket Club. Passing Warkworth Cricket Club before ending at Ashington Cricket Club. It is quite a journey all in one day! They are looking forward to it already!

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.
