Every August I take on a cycle challenge for charity.

This year, I’m switching things up and sharing the love. For 2026, I’m riding for Crohn’s & Colitis UK, a charity that means a lot to us because of our lovely friend Chris.

He’s been through the absolute mill over the last few years, facing the reality of living with inflammatory bowel disease day in, day out. His strength, humour, and stubborn determination have never wavered.

Crohn’s & Colitis UK do incredible work:

• Support for people living with IBD; advice, helplines, and community groups

• Funding research, improving treatments and understanding

• Raising awareness, helping people get diagnosed earlier

• Campaigning for better NHS services

Throughout August, I’ll be cycling every day to reach a total of 500 miles over the month, every mile will be for our friend, and for the thousands of people living with Crohn’s and Colitis every single day.

If you’re able to sponsor, share, or cheer me on, it would mean the world.
