Welcome to My Personal Page - Help me Cycle to a Cure!

The Ride Begins!
I have decided to make a difference in the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. On September 10, 2022 I will participate in the Maine Lighthouse Ride - and will be joined by my husband Steve! Members of my family have suffered from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, so we know first hand its effect on individuals and families. Your donations will not only motivate us to the finish, but they will help us get closer to the cure. Won’t you please consider a donation today?
About Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis: Known collectively as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect millions of Americans. 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.
We appreciate any donation you make. THANK YOU! Karen and Steve
