WHAT AM I DOING?

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Crohn's & Colitis UK.

I've chosen this nonprofit because Mark had chrohns and i saw how it impacted him

My challenge between my birthday and Mark's birthday in May is to run to all the St Mark's Churches in Greater Manchester ... 13 in total ... the longest of which will be 32km for Altrincham to Wigan

WHAT IS CROHN'S & COLITIS UK?

We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis.

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.
