My first 5km since June last year when issues with Ulcerative colitis started.

Feeling hopeful that I’m finally on top of this flare and although very unfit I’m grateful that I’m able to run at all 🙏🏻💪🏻.

Life of an IBD & Transplant patient… Hospitals literally become like 2nd homes. 🏥 Today, I’m at one just 5 minutes away from my house to receive my 6th biologic infusion. 🤞🏻🙏🏻

1st run since Sep’23 & 2nd since I began suffering from IBD in June. It’s been a tough 6-7 months, especially as my transplant recovery was going so well, but today felt great being back
on the road. Hoping today was the start back to fitness 🙏🏻

5 years ago I had my 1st liver biopsy - This was the last ‘check’ needed before starting the NorUrso phase 3 drug trial. I participated for over 2 years, and would happily do it again. I would encourage all PSC patients to consider participating in research 🙏🏻

New to the ‘ice bathing’ world and from barely being able to stand in the bath 2 weeks ago, I’m feeling pretty chuffed that I managed 1 min 30s today! - Air temp: 1c & Water temp: 5c ..🥶 Definitely NOT at the stage where I would call this fun, it’s purely a mental challenge!

I've had PSC for 17 years and spoken to a lot of other PSCers in that time. JJ Hannon is a breath of fresh air. Love love love their attitude and mental strength. Thanks for sharing Gareth Weeks
