Read Vicki's Story...

I was diagnosed with Colitis when I was 21, and found the help of Crohn’s and Colitis UK to be invaluable.

After recovering from a particularly bad flare-up where I spent most of Christmas in hospital, I decided to give something back and ran the London 10,000.I then decided to challenge myself further by climbing Africa’s legendary Kilimanjaro.

To reach my fundraising target I organised two live music events with the help of local bands and artists. I also recorded a charity single to sell at the events.

As well as all that I organised a 10k Starlight Charity Walk with local firefighters and held a quiz night at my local pub.
