Crohn's and Colitis UK Fundraiser Walks 2014

It's not long to go now until the 2014 Crohn's and Colitis UK Fundraiser Walks get underway. They are taking place in London, York, Rutland and Edinburgh. You can even take part on bicycle in Rutland!

Our celebrity Ambassador, Lewis Moody, tells us more about the walks:




For more information and how to book your place on the walks (hurry, there's not long to go), please visit the main Crohn's and Colitis UK website.

This year there is the added bonus of a 'Walk Your Own Way' video and PDF. This is for people who aren't able to take part in the larger organised walks, but who would like to take part in one. Basically, it's your guide to doing your own walk to raise funds for Crohn's and Colitis UK. Never thought about doing something like that? Well, watch the video and find out how:




Thanks for reading and we hope you are able to participate in some way.

World IBD Day - Celebrate in York

World IBD Day is the 19th May. Which is a Sunday - so give yourselves the day off to celebrate (!). People all over the globe will be doing things to celebrate, raise funds and awareness.

If you're in York, then you can celebrate by taking part in the York Walk (video below):

Starting and ending at Museum Gardens, York.

We are very excited about this year's York Walk - so dig out those walking shoes and join in the fun! Lots of people bring their families, friends and even dogs! You can Register as a walker or Register as a helper

From 10.30am
To warm you up for the main event, a fun-filled morning of family activities is laid on. Turn up early for music, children's entertainment, face painting and dancing at Museum Gardens.

From 12.00pm
The Walk sets off at 12.00pm, following a scenic route around York's historic city centre, including the Millennium Bridge and York Minster. We also offer a shorter and more accessible route for those who choose it.

From 1.00pm
After all that walking, you are invited to rest your tired legs and enjoy a family picnic. You bring the food, we'll provide the entertainment!

And finally
We are very lucky to have a team of fantastic volunteers without whom this event would not be possible. If you would like to help at the start and finish point, on the check-in desk or marshalling on the route, or in any other way - suggestions welcome - please register to join the volunteer team.  Click here to volunteer to help at this walk
