A Social Cause I am passionate about

My brother was diagnosed with severe Crohns disease when he was 9 so I am passionate about raising money to promote awareness of the condition and fund research for new treatment. I ran the London marathon a few years ago raising tens of thousands of pounds for the cause. I also loves being involved at my children’s school helping to listen to readers and coming up with new ideas and initiatives to fundraise.
