National Association for Colitis & Chrohn's

OK, now the serious bit. At first our motives were purely personal - a challenge for all of us. However, as time has gone on we felt that if it was possible to raise some money for charity along the way anything we wcan raise would help.

I am not going into personal details on this site - if others in the team wish to make things public then that is their choice - but one of our family members suffers from Crohn's Disease.

We have set up a site - www.justgiving.com/roger_staplehurst to raise money.

If you feel that you would like to give some money to support us then this would be very generous gesture. There are a lot of charities asking for your money these days. This is our personal challenge and it would be great if you could support NACC by supporting us. We also got some media coverage with the Biggleswade Chronicle!

The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease (NACC) brings together people of all ages who have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease, their families and the health professionals involved in their care. These two illnesses are both forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and they affect about 1 in 400 people in the United Kingdom. If you would like to find out more their website is www.nacc.org.uk
