Fancy that.... Crohn's and Colitis UK can offer you a place in any major city marathon except London! You name a marathon we will see if there are places still available. The New York is a favourite - places for New York go well before the closing date in September. Pick up that phone, make your request and we will see what we can do. In the meantime get your running shoes on and start training!

Please make a donation

If you would like to support Crohn's and Colitis UK, please either make a donation online through our partner site Justgiving or use our printed donation form

you can also create a donations page for your own sponsored event through Justgiving.

When you donate via Justgiving they reclaim the income tax you have paid on that sum on our behalf (where you have declared yourself to be a UK tax payer) and add that to your donation before passing the total to Crohn's and Colitis UK.

Crohn's and Colitis UK pays Justgiving a small administration fee for this service which includes the charge made by the credit card company.
