Kerryn & Henry's fundraiser for Crohn’s & Colitis UK (London to Paris by bike)

Kerryn Clements is raising money for Crohn’s & Colitis UK

London to Paris 2025 · 23 July 2025 to 27 July 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

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

As some of you are aware, I (Kerryn) was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in October 2024.

Crohn’s is a chronic form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and an incurable autoimmune disorder, the cause of which is currently unknown.

It’s been a challenging couple of months learning to adapt and get my head around the necessary lifestyle changes. Needing to channel some of this frustration into something positive but challenging, my husband (Henry) and I have decided to cycle the 320 miles from London to Paris over 4 days in July. But our real goal will be to raise £5,000 for Crohn’s and Colitis UK, helping to fund vital research into these diseases, to understand them better and eventually find cures.

Please help us accomplish this! We’re really grateful for any amount that’s donated and helps us towards our target!

Love, Kerryn & Henry xx
