Welcome to My Personal Page

As some of you know I have recently taken up running as a hobby. One of my goals is to run in the NYC marathon. When I learned about Team Challenge I thought this would be a great way to use that hobby to contribute to a greater goal. My wife, Liya, was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis so I have seen firsthand how painful and stressful this disease can be. I will be running the NYC mararthon On November 1, 2020. Please consider a donation to help us get closer to a cure today. Thanks!
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.
