Louise Thompson
Since her announcement on Instagram that she has been recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson is now working to raise awareness of these painful, debilitating and widely misunderstood diseases.
I'm thrilled to be supporting Crohn's & Colitis UK and very excited to be opening WALK IT! It's such a great day and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of amazing people who have Crohn's or Colitis. I'm really happy to support a charity that does some amazing work supporting those with the conditions as well as funding research to try and find a cure.
