Afterwards Allander president Vincent Cuddihy said: “Club members, who had little knowledge of either of these conditions, expressed how impressed they were by Roy’s ability to describe in clear and simple language the distressing symptoms and potential consequences of the conditions.

“Some commented that, while they knew vaguely that they affected the bowel, they had no idea of the severity of the symptoms, nor the widespread effects on other organs and mental health.

“The charity is purely voluntary, it is has minimal overheads and 100 per cent of money raised goes to help those who suffer from the condition. It was clear from the response of the Rotarians that Allander Rotary will support this 
charity in any way it can”.
