So on Saturday I took part in Walk IT! – a sponsored walk raising funds for Crohn’s & Colitis UK. I – along with my wife, 3 year old son and my dad – walked 5 km around the centre of Bristol. It was a good day for walking – not too hot – although we did encounter some pretty steep hills (although that was mostly from where we parked the car to the start point – good old Apple maps…)

I did a Walk IT! last year too at Rutland Water which was lovely, but there is something extra about walking through a busy city centre on a Saturday for boosting the awareness raising potential. We even picked up a couple of donations as we wandered about.

The event was really well organised, marshalled and had a really nice feel to it. We have managed to raise over £400 for Crohn’s & Colitis UK which will be put to good use funding research and providing resources to IBD sufferers around the UK.

I thin k one of the highlights had to be all the volunteers gathering and cheering as we crossed the line – and then leting Jonah have another go because he liked being cheered so much!

There is still time to make a donation if you wish, by visiting the Justgiving Page.
