12 friends cycling 1000 miles in 9 days. John O'Groats to Lands End in order to raise money and awareness for Crohn's & Colitis UK.
Crohn's disease may not be as well-known as cancer or heart disease, but it can consume a person's life just as much, if not more so. Crohn's is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It most often affects the large and small bowels, though it can wreak havoc on any part of the GI tract.
Crohn’s disease is a long-term condition that causes
inflammation in the digestive tract. Doctors do not categorize Crohn’s into different stages because symptoms can vary considerably over time, which can make it unpredictable. Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. It is a progressive condition, which means that it tends to worsen gradually
Colitis is a chronic digestive disease characterized by inflammation
of the inner lining of the colon. Infection, loss of blood supply in the colon, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and invasion of the colon wall with collagen or lymphocytic white blood cells are all possible causes of an inflamed colon.
These chronic diseases have impacted the lives of friends, family and loved ones of team.
