Welcome to My Personal Page
I Tri for my daughter (who also does Tri's)
My goal for 2020 came and went-- complete the Half Ironman the weekend of my 45th Birthday. It didn't happen. Like most events due to COVID, race was postponed to 2021. As of now, it's back on and so are my fundraising efforts. Not only is this a mental and physical challenge to complete 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run, I have decided to make a difference in the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. On Sunday, June 20th I will participate in the Iron(wo)man 70.3 DesMoines. This will be a big undertaking, but it will all be worth it because your donations will not only motivate me to the finish, but they will help us get closer to the cure. Won’t you please consider a donation today?
I am learning more and more about Crohn's disease, please share if you have been touched personally or friends and family you know that have been affected.
About Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Known collectively as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affects almost 1 in 100 people. They are painful, medically incurable diseases that attack the digestive system. Crohn's disease may attack anywhere along the digestive tract, while ulcerative colitis inflames only the large intestine (colon). Symptoms may include abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever, and weight loss. Many patients require numerous hospitalizations and surgery. Most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35; however the incidence is increasing in children.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is the largest non-profit, voluntary, health organization dedicated to finding cures for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The Foundation’s mission is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults who are affected by these diseases. The Foundation works to fulfill its mission by funding research; providing educational resources for patients and their families, medical professionals, and the public; and furnishing supportive services for those afflicted with IBD.
