We are raising money as a team for the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis, as this is a cause close to our family!

My sister in law and Liam's wife Eleisha is dealing with this horrible condition with so much bravery and we want to raise as much as we can to fund more research into IBD so that one day there may be a cure!

The least we can do is prepare for and compete in the ATHX games in October 2024 and raise some funds in the process! You can follow our adventure on Facebook Jorik henckens or on instragram @henckensjorik

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.

Crohn's and Colitis UK are 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.
