Crohn's & Colitis UK fundraiser challenge series
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jamie and I, along with my team will be raising money for Crohn's & Colitis UK.
I have been aware of Crohn's since I was a child, with my Dad suffering severely over the years. Shortly before COVID lock down, I too was diagnosed with Crohn's. I am one of the lucky ones, my symptoms are mild and I am still able to do most activities relatively unaffected. This year I and 4 colleagues are taking part in a series of challenges that we hope will raise awareness and money for Crohn's & Colitis UK.
In September a team of 5 of us will be taking part in a company wide "Team Challenge". This will involve a day of mental and physical challenges. It is a fun event, but as those of you who know me will already know, I want to win it.
The challenge between now and then is to raise as much money for our chosen charity as possible. There will be several events leading up to this and I will keep them and you updated below.
Any money you can spare will go to a great cause and of course, I will update with any photos and videos from events along the way.
Planned events (Currently)
- Charity golf day at Hawarden Golf Club (28th June) - completing 72 holes of golf, the first 18 running, second playing with the support team, third with a society from Vauxhall, and finally with a cohort of club officials.
- Quiz Night! (28th June) - On completion of 72 holes of golf, there will be a quiz night to complete the day.
- Sweepstakes (Draw to take place on 13th June)- Euro 2024 is not so far away now, at Hawarden Golf Club there will be a £2 euro sweepstakes available, winner taking £25 and £23 going into the fundraising pot.
- Running Month (July) - Complete 150km for the month of July
- Moel Famau Challenge (August) - This will likely be the toughest challenge. Starting at 0600, I will be walking the circular route up and down the hill. I will be doing this as many times as possible in 12 hours, finishing at 1800. Any dog walkers or anyone just wanting to join in, please do.
- Work Fun Run (TBC) - Every year my company does a fun run across its site (around 1 mile). This year, I will be taking part, dressed in my 8 foot inflatable T-Rex.
- Team Challenge (4th September) - The final event in our challenge series.
Keep an eye on this page, I will have plenty of photos from the events to come. Thank you all for your support of this worthy cause.
