Down but never out of the loop. |

| During the next four months I will be training to run a half marathon (13.1 miles) in Miami in January 2009 to raise money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. The CCFA is a leader in education and research to find a cure for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Together, these two diseases affect over one million Americans, often striking in the prime of one's life. This cause is extremely close to my heart (and gut!) as I have suffered from Crohn's Disease for 7 years. If you know me then you are familiar with how this disease has affected my life and the life of my loved ones. After my last hospitalization in June this year, I decided to take my frustrations and turn them into a positive force against my illness. As I train for the half marathon, I will meet with other people from Philadelphia who suffer or are running on behalf of loved ones who are affected. Please join me in the fight against Crohn's and Colitis by donating as much as you can. Any amount helps.
Until there's a cure...
