My Story

Hi there! I am running the 2023 London Marathon to support Crohn's & Colitis UK. 

Crohns and Colitis are two forms of Inflammotory Bowel Disease, which right now affects 500,000 people in the UK, causing signficant health complications, health barriers, and increasing susceptibility to other conditions e.g. colorectal cancer. In knowing friends and family affected by these conditions, I've seen the impacts it can have. Many people haven't heard of Crohns & Colitis, with its symptoms often met with embarrassment and stigma. This causes many to suffer in silence, or have their conditions go unidentified for long periods, leading to more extreme health consequences. 

I want to support changing that outcome and perception faced by many, and support Crohns and Colitis UK, the UK's leading charity for Crohn's and Colitis. Crohns and Colitis UK work hard to spread awareness and challenge stigma to change peoples approach to these diseases. Through your donation, you can help their mission in raising awareness, supporting diagnosis and treatment, and funding research.

Those who know me know this marathon will be no easy task, and so if you wish to be entertained by the view of me suffering 26.2 miles, the sound of my endless moans and groans, and support the great work Crohsn & Colitis UK do, please consider donating to this amazing charity. 

Thank you so much for visiting the page and any donations made, it means so much to me. Jack x.
