Giving It Up For Crohn's And Colitis Illustration

What could I give up?

The tougher the challenge the more you could raise as you prove to your friends and family just how determined you are.

  • It could be 30 days or longer without alcohol… how about no wine or your favourite tipple for a year?
  • What about a setting yourself a digital detox, could you give up social media for a week?

  • Saying no to all fizzy drinks or sugar, what about ditching chocolate or your favourite biscuits?

  • Meatless month – want to cut down on eating meat? Why not try it by being sponsored to quit meat for a month?
