Welcome to David's Fundraising Page
First, Thank You!
I have decided to make a difference in the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. On June 21, 2020 I will participate in the IRONMAN 70.3 Des Moines. It's time to do a little more than just endurance events and so this year I decided to raise money while I train for another 70.3. I plan on working even harder this year while trying to make a small difference for those suffering form this disease. Your donations will not only motivate me to the finish, but they will help us get closer to the cure. A colleague of mine who suffers from IBD brought this opportunity to my attention and I hope to hit the goal to raise money for this foundation to finding a cure. Any donation amount helps, and please share with others!

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.
