As a Community Champion for Crohn's & Colitis UK, Anne Swanston is continuing her amazing fundraising efforts in memory of her late husband Ian Swanston who had Ulcerative Colitis - with another prestigious and intimate Ladies Lunch. Over 100 local ladies attended the event which included a two-course lunch and guest speakers Billie Anderson and Local MP Daisy Cooper who both shared their experiences of living with the conditions.
Billie Anderson was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 3 years ago and has gone on to become a social media influencer, sharing her everyday life of living with the condition.
Anne, from St. Albans has fundraised in support of Crohn's & Colitis UK for the past 17 years raising over £230,000 - an almighty achievement in itself - she's also very active in raising awareness in the local community of St Albans.
It Takes Guts to live with these conditions, and that's why Anne is already working on organising her next fundraising event the twelfth Ian Swanston charity Ball on Saturday 2 May 2020.
