Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the half marathon, which for me is going to be a huge challenge given my athletic ability. I only started running 12 months ago. Those who played football with me will know i never ran on the football pitch.

I am raising money for 

Bowel Research UK  Who fund life-changing research into bowel cancer and other bowel diseases.

Every year over 16,000 people die from bowel cancer in the UK and over a million suffer from bowel disease.

By researching cutting edge treatments and investing in the best science, we’re saving and improving people’s lives

Bowel Research UK was founded in 2020 following a merger between two well-respected charities: Bowel & Cancer Research and Bowel Disease Research Foundation (BDRF). 

We’re the UK’s leading specialist bowel cancer and bowel disease research charity and our research is saving and improving lives.

I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis (which is a bowel disease) about 8 years ago,which led to spending multiple days/times in hospital.  Although it does affect my lifestyle there are many people who are affected worse than me. The money I raise will go to helping people with bowel diseases.

Any money you can donate will be greatly appreciated by myself and many others.
