I am excited to be running in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 12 October to raise funds for Crohn’s and Colitis UK.

I’m taking on this challenge to help make life better for people living with Crohn’s or Colitis. These are tough, lifelong conditions that affect more than 500,000 people in the UK. Life with Crohn’s and Colitis can be unpredictable, with flare-ups that turn daily routines, work, or study upside down.

Currently there is no cure and no clear understanding of what causes these diseases. By supporting Crohn’s and Colitis UK, we can help fund vital research, improve care, and give hope to those who are struggling and one day find a cure.

I would be so grateful for any contribution you can make towards my fundraising goal of £2,000. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference.
