Welcome to Sandi's Personal Page

I'm back on the crazy train, training for triathlons. I will officially participate in the 2XU Malibu Triathlon, but will also be "racing in orange" to bring awareness and garner support in two other events prior; Spring Sprint, here in San Diego at Mission Bay on May 1, and the Bass Lake/Yosemite Triathlon on June 3. This is a huge undertaking - but not nearly as difficult as having to live with IBD diseases every day. Please help me out by donating $33 per event (get it? 3's?) or whatever you feel you want to pitch in. No amount is too small or too big. These funds are used in research for treatment and cures for these ugly diseases and for patient services.
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.
