Afternoon! Mods/Username Tormentors - if this incorrectly placed or inappropriate please let me know.
So... I've decided to run the London Marathon for a charity very close to my heart -
Crohn's and Colitis UKCrohn's and Colitis are diseases that are classified under one head 'Inflamed Bowel Disease', both of these diseases are chronic (there is no cure) and they are debilitating and can cause severe pain. Symptoms include: severe weight loss (I dropped from 12stone to 9stone within a few weeks), unbearable stomach cramps/pains and in a lot of cases some embarrassing toilet situations (!) and even surgery.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2011 and have been coming to terms with it and learning how to cope with the illness since then. Knowing that you cannot be cured is quite devastating but maybe one day, with your help we can fund research to find that illusive cure.
Crohn's/Colitis affects hundreds of thousands of people in the United Kingdom alone and is a really severe disease which has a quite alarming lack of awareness.
On Sunday 13th April i'll be running the London Marathon (i'm fucking mad!) to raise a target of £2,500.00. If you think it's a great idea (which it is) and want to sponsor me then please do donate here
http://www.justgiving.com/robgamblesI'm a long time supporter and reader of RAWK and hope some of this wonderful online community can help me inch a little closer to my goal! If you can spare a few pennies for a great cause to help try and change the lives of those living with this terrible disease then dig deep and please help out
I love you all,
Lets do this!
