Inflammatory bowel disease has impacted several members of my family, including me. My mum became really poorly in 2007 and had to have life altering surgery as a result of years of living with ulcerative colitis. 

Crohn's & Colitis UK are 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. I am taking part in the 2022 Royal Parks Half Marathon to support Crohn's & Colitis UK, and your donation can help Crohn's & Colitis UK's mission to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and raise awareness.
