Following my involvement as an ambassador for BBC Sport’s #MakeYourMove Campaign (which involves me taking on the Couch to 5K challenge), I am privileged to have been asked to share a bit about me and my Crohn’s through a Q&A for a sister campaign : #BodyPositive. BodyPositive exists to empower individuals to feel comfortable in…

My Hospital Box
In August 2011, I spent 5 weeks in hospital while the doctors worked hard to eventually diagnose me with Crohn’s Disease. This was my first time being admitted to hospital and I was sure it was only going to be a couple of days at the most. Little did I realise how ill I was and…

40 Acts Day 24: Stand
So today’s post is going to be slightly different in layout. I’ll post the thought of the day and three acts as usual but instead of commenting under each action, I am going to speak about two causes; one of which I am really passionate about and the other which I have supported in the…

40 Acts Day 19 & 20: Daily Grind / Beam
Yeah… and I’m once again a day behind in posting! Haha, oh well. I have no set commitment and so I will stop beating myself up when I fail to keep on top of it! Today marks day 20, so it is officially halfway through 40 acts. Honestly, if it wasn’t for blogging each act,…

Ready, Set, Go!
Growing up, sport was always something that I found difficult. I never seemed to be particularly good and I didn’t find it all that enjoyable. For me, there was nothing worse than having to run. Whether it be cross country or a 100m sprint, the very thought of having to move my legs as quick…

Night 1 & 2 / 14
The first night was horrible. My parents had been visiting during the afternoon and I loved seeing them but when they left I knew it was time to get down to business. The enema wasn’t anything like I was told it was going to be. For a start, there was no liquid and so this…

14 nights of fun…
Last week I travelled down to St Marks for my consultant appointment which ultimately was to look at my progress on my current course of medication and decide whether any further action needed to be taken. Overall, my consultant was very happy with my current health and described me as looking ‘terribly well’. Despite me…

I grew it all by myself!
This morning I was reminded of how much my hair has grown in a year! So I thought I’d post some photos to show you all! Before my hair fell out it looked liked the photo below which was taken in August 2013 at my Aunt’s wedding. My hair was dark brown and dead straight,…
