Story

Hi everyone!

When I applied to run for this charity, I was asked "how are you going to fundraise? People have a hard time talking about.....'poo'." And I said "you've clearly never met my friends."

Over the past 10+ years of my running career, the one topic that has gone from taboo to so common, I have to refrain from talking about it OUTSIDE of the running community, IS...'poo'. And we can all laugh because 'poo' is funny, but in reality, there's a serious side to it, too. From colon cancer screenings, to IBS, Crohn's, and other ailments in the belly and gut, runner or not, we, or someone we love, have all been affected in some way by...'poo'.

So, I invite you to donate to this charity, which is making strides in finding cures to all of the 'poo'-related diseases and ailments that we, or loved ones, could all potentially face. You can absolutely donate anonymously, if you're not as comfortable shouting about 'poo' from the rooftops as the average runner is. But, if you could, to keep it light, please also include a 'poo' pun with your donation. Because, while these ailments are very serious, laughter is truly the best medicine.

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.
