My story

Hi everyone I will be running a half marathon throughout June for my girlfriend Elisha who suffers with Crohns Disease, I wanted to do this to raise as much awareness to this disease as much as I can..

Elisha was diagnosed with this disease 4+ years ago by dropping weight massively which took her up into hospital and lead to the diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, when I first started seeing Lisha I wasn’t aware of Crohns Disease and as we have grown I’ve learnt about it more and more as the days go, living with Lish it’s horrible to see someone you truly love suffer with this disease and you can’t do anything to help, Lish has recently been in and out of hospital spending countless days stuck on a chair in a&e with doctors trying to fob her off and saying she is okay but we know that she really isn’t, Lish is on a good path to recovery after doctors have found that she’s in a severe flare up and a long term plan is being organised while she is in hospital.

Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can affect different areas of the digestive tract in different people. In lishas case this has caused her stomach to become inflamed and cause more pain alongside her flare up. Crohn's most commonly affects the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. The inflammation often spreads into the deeper layers of the bowel.

What is Crohn’s disease - Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes swelling and irritation of the tissues, called inflammation, in the digestive tract. This can lead to belly pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

If you could share/donate as such as big or small it will be really appreciated and will go a long way.

As many thank you’s.
