I am running my first half marathon on Sunday 19th June when I will be taking part in the Guernsey Milk Run. I am raising funds for IBDSG, a charity that my wife, Rachel, is a big part of. They are working very hard to try to raise awareness in Guernsey of the symptoms of the life-long and life-changing conditions of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, to raise their profile as a support network and also in raising funds to sponsor the employment of an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Specialist Nurse who would be able to work with the brilliant but very busy gastro specialist in the medical treatment of sufferers but also be able to spend more time with sufferers offering advice and assurance.
