Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Sophie and for over 15 years I have lived with Crohn’s disease. I cannot really remember my life without it. 

I know alot of people will say 10k is a walk in the park but for someone like me it really is MASSIVE!!

Throughout the years my Crohns has pushed me to my absolute limits both physically and mentally, at times I have honestly felt like just giving up……BUT that is just not an option.

I have worked full time since I left school. I have worked for the same company for nearly 14 years now. I try and attend all outings I am invited to and treat myself to a drink when my body allows me. 

I attend many hospital appointments, self inject my medication every other week and regularly end up in hospital having to have some sort of procedure. My most recent being in May this year. 

I have always wanted to do something to help raise awareness and funds for a charity who have helped me. Due to health and confidence issues I have never been able to, BUT I am now so proud to be able to represent NACC in a 10k run.

Rain, shine, sleet and snow I have been out running. I really have put a shift in. Apart from my op in May and a slight ankle issue, I have allowed myself no rest.

I honestly am surrounded by the most AMAZING family, friends, partner and colleagues who support me, understand me, drive me and motivate me. I COULD NOT of done any of this without you OR got through the last 15 years without you….

Anything that you can give will really help! This charity is AMAZING and helps people like me! They raise awareness, understanding and research new treatments.

Thank you so much 💜

All my love Sophie xxx
