The Rotary Club of Bloxwich Phoenix

Three of our final four highlighted JustGiving pages this holiday period are for runners, the first of whom is Joy Mason.

She completed the Great Birmingham Run on October 23 last year, to raise funds for Crohn’s and Colitis UK. They aim to improve life for everyone affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the most common forms being Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, conditions which affect about 250,000 people in the United Kingdom.

They provide information lines, local groups and support for those affected by the condition, as well as funding research into treatment and prevention. Those interested can join the charity for just £12 per year.

For Joy, from Pelsall, this was her first half-marathon, and as a result of her efforts she has managed to exceed her target by a significant amount. Her JustGiving page has so far raised a total of £503 for this little known but very important charity. We will be adding a small amount to that total as part of our 12 Days of Christmas event, and encourage you to do the same by clicking on the Donate button on her page.
