Last year’s campaign was an incredible success thanks to all of you! I raised over $4,500 and ran the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon in a personal record time of 1:47:43. I owe about a million favors to a lot of people… you know who you are!
Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are chronic, incurable conditions that attack the digestive system. Patients suffer throughout their lives and often experience severe complications including colon cancer. Anyone can be diagnosed at any point in life. Many patients develop it in their 20’s. Many children are patients as well. The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America is the only fund dedicated to curing these diseases. The money that we raise through team challenge goes directly towards research that helps patients live more normal and enjoyable lives!
I am back for more this year, but this season the mission is a little different. First, I am a fundraising mentor for the team. This means that I have taken on the added responsibility of helping all of our wonderful newbs get through this fantastic program. I need to set the example for fundraising! Second, the race we are running is the Boston Half Marathon on June 27th. That’s right, we’re the host city where over 500 CCFA runners from around the nation will be coming! So again, my Boston team and myself are being looked at to set the example for the nation!
This season I want to give everyone something in return for their donation in addition to thanks. So for right now, everyone who donates at least $25 between now and March 12th will be entered to win a pair of tickets behind home plate to see the Yankees at the Red Sox on Sunday May 9th. Should be awesome! For some added incentive: -6 entries for $25 -15 entries for $50 -40 entries for $100 -125 entries for $250
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation now at my website! I am humbled by everyone’s generosity and look forward to running another great race for you. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
