Crohn's has struck my baby, let's stop it before it can get her's.

What Are Crhon's and Ulcerative Colitis? Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are painful and unpredictable 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). Some 1.4 million American adults and children suffer from Crohn's disease or Colitis, with as many as 150,000 under the age of 18. Most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35.

I am sure the name Mike McCready sounds familiar. He is the guitarist for Pearl Jam. He has suffered with Crohn's diseases for over 20 years and has suffered with the pain and issues that accompany this disease, many times touring in severe pain. He has recently become a member of Team Challenge and takes time out of his busy touring schedule to run in Team Challenge marathons to raise money and awareness for this worthy cause. You can see more from Mike McCready at this You Tube Link: Pearl Jam's Mike McCready: Racing like a rock star with Team Challenge! www.youtube.com Why Crohn's and Colitis for the Holt's? Well my grandfather had Crohn's disease, my father died from complications from Crohn's, I was diagnosed with Crohn's over 9 years ago, and my beautiful 23 year old daughter was diagnosed just a few months ago. The final blow that pushed us off the couch and in to action is when my son's first girlfriend in grade school passed away due to complications from Crohn's disease. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! IT IS TIME TO CURE THIS DISEASE!
