London Marathon 2021 · 3 October 2021 ·

We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have Ulcerative Colitis and have to have medicine infusions every 6 weeks as well as take 7 tablets a day to control my condition. My immune system attacks itself - its my Super Power :-)  Without my meds I get chronic fatigue that stops me from doing burpees!!! Shocking!......joking aside..without my meds I can get very unwell and unable to do my job...a fitness instructor that keeps you guys fit and healthy!  Please help me fund raise for this worthy cause that helps people like me and the many other Crohns and Colitis Sufferers...many of which suffer far worse with their condition than I do!


Yes - I like to run.....I regularly do 10k runnning events...most of which have been virtual this last year due to COVID....every now and then I do a half marathon - and I find them tough! Never have I attempted anything further.....this will definitely be a challenge!! Take into account I am also battling a disease inside me that no matter how fit I keep myself, I can't do anything about. I regularly feel knackered, fatigued....but I try not to show it! x x 


I have paid the £150 to secure my charity space...any money that you donate goes straight to the charity. I am also making regularly monthly contributions towards my target.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
