Make content about: John is helping fund a cure

After fifty-four years of living with Crohn's, John is helping fund the search for a cure.

This story

John was diagnosed with Crohn's by a surgeon in Leeds after local doctors were unsure what was wrong. Over 54 years he has had three bowel resection operations, and in late 2021 he began experiencing blockages and hospital stays. Living with other incurable conditions as well, he decided to leave a gift in his Will to support research into finding a cure.
