Crohn’s disease, a family ride.

[PeteXXX]

Tomorrow, No.1 daughter, my granddaughter and I are on a ride to support the Crone’s & Colitis charity.

My daughter suffers from Crohn’s so it’s a rather special cause to our family.

Bluebell ride in aid of Crohn’s & Colitis

We’re doing the 17 mile route, their longest rides ever!

If anyone would care to donate, please feel free to click the Virgin Giving link.



I’ve posted this in the Cafe rather than Charity Rides as it’s not advertising the ride as such, just hoping for a bit more exposure to this debilitating disease and maybe a few donations, ta..

We aim to, thanks. I’ll post some pics, probably including an ice cream or two

About £140 raised so far.

Good on you Pete. Both me and my son have Crohn’s. (He was diagnosed last year)

I’m riding the RideLondon 100 in support of Crohn’s & Colitis UK this year.

Thanks Buck. It’s a surprisingly common ailment that’s hard to diagnose, isn’t it.

Well done on getting into the 100!

Something like that, yep.

My daughter suffers from crohns.

It’s hard to see why people get Crohn’s. There’s none in my or my wife’s family as far back as we can see.
Not nice to see loved ones suffer either, is it!?
My daughter, she won’t mine me saying, has endometriosis as well, but has plans to do the London Marathon, for the second time, to raise awareness of both.
