Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Stephen, myself & other members of IBD Superheroes, along with friends and family (some dressed in superhero attire!) are walking the Humber Bridge and back to raise money for Cure Crohn's & Colitis.

Battling Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a constant uphill fight. Fatigue is one of the main symptoms sufferers deal with, hence the idea of walking the bridge and back seeming like a realistic, yet still challenging target. Other symptoms of IBD include stomach pain, joint pain & frequent toilet trips to name just a few.  Stephen & I both have IBD.

7 years ago, as of 9.8.18, I was very close to losing my life. If it wasn't for my Dad & my lifesaving operation which left me with a permanent ileostomy, I wouldn't be writing this today. 

My operation date also marks my Uncle's birthday, who we sadly lost to IBD complications not too long after my surgery. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. He taught me that even with IBD, we have to try our hardest to remain hopeful and strong and live our lives to the fullest we possibly can.

A huge thank you from Stephen & I in advance. Your support means a lot to us.
