Andy’s story

Andy has suffered with a bowel disorder for all of his life. In 2016, Andy found himself in the Emergency Department receiving many tests to find out why his body was beginning to shut down. Andy was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and ended up in a lifesaving five hour operation. Andy spent 3 days in the HDU feeling very unwell, but being very well cared for. Outdoor space would have boosted his health and may have allowed him to leave the HDU earlier. This appeal is Andy’s opportunity to give back.
