Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My eldest son was diagnosed with Crohns disease 5 years ago. As a young child he was diagnosed with Childhood M.E, which we now believe was a precursor for Crohns.

Even with a lot of time off school and college he applied himself and did really well in his exams. He works, is studying A levels and is the most amazing person I know. He is caring, considerate, loving and just gets on with things.

He has to inject himself every week, and he does this without any fuss, his iron levels are very low and is waiting for an iron transfusion. He overcomes physical and mental obstacles daily and lives the life of a typical 18 year old.

I want to push myself both physically and mentally, overcome obstacles put in front of me, push my mind and body to its absolute limit. Why? My feelings, emotions and physical discomfort will be temporary, my sons won't be.

I will be logging all of my progress, training and every aspect of preparation for this event at Instagram/charityrunfor_crohns2021
