Ulcerative colitis stole a year and a half of my life! I will never get that time back. The only way I can get my revenge is to take colitis down for good!

I plan on running the half marathon in Napa, CA to prove to myself and the world that I have beaten this terrible disease. I need your help raising the $3800 required for me to get there!

The destruction caused by colitis left me in the worst physical shape of my life. I had my colon removed on October 4, 2007 leaving me incredibly frail. It would take me nearly 10 minutes to walk 10 feet. On July 20, 2008 I plan on running 13.1 miles and officially crowning myself the champion over colitis.

I want to make sure nobody else ever has to go through the physical, mental, and emotional torture that colitis put me through. Life is beautiful and colitis is ugly. They should never be intertwined. We need your help to end colitis. Your donations will help find a cure for ulcerative colitis!
