My story

Last February, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. After over 15 years of chronic pain taking over my life, I got one step closer to relief.

Every day is affected by my condition, often leaving me unable to stand or walk from the level of pain. I have also recently been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, exacerbating the pain I feel.

Many people close to me will know that I have quit multiple jobs because of this, but I know many fellow sufferers just have to ‘grin and bear it’.

As there’s no cure for this condition, Crohn's and Colitis UK need funding for research and support, as well as awareness within the medical system. It shouldn’t take 15 years to get diagnosed.

This June, Dan and I have decided to walk (potentially/probably very slowly) to raise both money and awareness for CCUK. I hate that I feel embarrassed talking about my daily struggles, so any research and understanding you could undertake would mean the world to us!

In times like these, money is tight, so any donations or shares are equally appreciated!
