The WALK IT series brings together people from across the country who want a better life for people today and a world free from Crohn’s and Colitis tomorrow. In 2016 our WALK IT community united around this desire, bringing together record numbers of people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis, and raising much-needed funds.

But there is so much more to do. So in 2017, with your support, we are going bigger than ever with 8 WALK IT events across the UK. Come as a team, bring your friends, family and dogs or come alone and meet new people with shared experiences.

These fantastic community days, with walks starting and finishing at the fun-filled event village, have entertainment, food and fun for all ages.Every route will take in iconic sights and landmarks, as well as helping you discover secret gems. If you’re up for a challenge, you’ll have the option of a 10km power walk. If you would rather stroll and enjoy the sights as a family or group, then a 5km route may be more up your street.

 WALK IT fundraisers make a huge difference by ensuring a better quality of life for people with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. So, this year we are challenging you to get sponsored and WALK IT – together with family or friends – to raise £100 or more.This could help pay for 2,000 people to get the information they need about Inflammatory Bowel Disease.We are here to support you with your fundraising. We will send you a fundraising guide with lots of ideas to help you reach – or smash - your target.

However you decide to WALK IT you will be joining hundreds of like-minded Crohn’s and Colitis UK supporters for a fun day, standing strong against stigma and taking part in our biggest fundraising event ever. Every step you take ensures a better life for people with Crohn’s and Colitis. So let’s WALK IT together!
