Living with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis is no walk in the park, they are chronic, unpredictable and painful conditions which cause ulceration and inflammation in the digestive system.
The all new WALK IT invites anyone to join in, walking either 5km or 10km to show their support in the fight against Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, the two main forms of IBD.
There are six routes across the country - London, Edinburgh, Manchester, York, Swansea and Rutland - taking place throughout May, June and July.
To help launch the walks, the charity are supported by TV Presenter Rylan Clark-Neal and former TOWIE favourite Sam Faiers, both with personal experience of IBD.
They hope they can encourage walkers to join them as they pound the pavement for a cause close to their hearts.
ITV This Morning presenter Rylan Clark-Neal joins the campaign to highlight the effect IBD has on the whole family:
Reality star Sam Faiers has been very public regarding her battle with Crohn’s Disease, which she was diagnosed with in 2014:
WALK IT will take in inspiring routes of iconic sights at each location. Walkers will discover secret gems, taking in the landmarks we all know and love, all whilst raising money for a fantastic cause and having fun together!
The walks will be a true community event for the whole family, with entertainment, food and fun at every location:
- Rutland – Sunday 1 May
- Manchester – Saturday 14 May
- Swansea – Saturday 28 May
- London – Saturday 4 June
- York – Sunday 12 June
- Edinburgh – Saturday 9 July
