Dear colleagues,
On May 2, I will be walking in the Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation Walk.
My husband has been suffering from Crohn’s disease for 18 years (since he was just 16 years old). It has been a long battle with many ups and downs. Even after two bowel resection surgeries, medications and dietary restrictions, he still lives in pain. Until a few weeks ago, John was receiving Remicade IV treatments, but he has built up an immunity and now gives himself injections of Humira. We are running out of drugs! We need to find a cure! We cannot do it on our own and need all of your support. He is the reason this cause is very near and dear to my heart.
I hope you will consider supporting me by clicking the link below to view my personal page. If you prefer, you can also send your contribution directly to me in ADM 270 (checks can be made payable to CCFA). Your support is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in joining me on walk day and helping my fundraising efforts, please register to join my team.
