CICRA (Crohn's in Childhood Research Association)•
Great Scottish Run Half Marathon
Date: 06th Oct 2024
George Square, Glasgow, UK
With a city centre start and finish, the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is a celebration of everything that makes Glasgow truly great: inspiring urban architecture, green spaces, history, music, strength, spirit and, of course, great people, personality and humour. Thousands of runners take part each year to challenge themselves and to raise money for good causes. And Scotland’s friendliest city always delivers on the support front too, with crowds of locals turning out each year to cheer and high-five from beginning to end. Plus there’s medals, finisher t-shirts and bragging rights for all!
CICRA is dedicated to creating a wider understanding of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly as it affects children and young adults. We provide support and understanding for children and young people and their families. We raise funds to sponsor Research Fellowships and PhD studentships and give grants to support approved medical and scientific research projects in major gastroenterological centres nationwide. Investment in research has led to new treatments and has helped to train many of the specialists who today treat children throughout the UK.
