Imagineering an End to Crohn’s On January 10, 2015, I will run 13.1 miles (a half marathon) with CCFA’s Team Challenge to raise $5,000 for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research and support. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect an estimated 1.4 million Americans and Crohn’s nearly cost me my life. The good news is that significant progress is being made in understanding these diseases and working toward a cure! Please donate toward this important cause. Join Me for a Special “Imagineering a Cure” Event On Tuesday August 26, I’ll be hosting a very special event in our effort to Imagineer a Cure for Crohn’s. Stop by The Bay in Whitefish Bay for lunch, dinner and/or drinks on that day and 10% of your food and drinks purchase will be donated to CCFA. (Note: You need to print and present one of these coupons to participate.) As part of the event, we’ll also be holding a Silent Auction from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Stop in during that time to bid on great auction items donated by area merchants and others. Hope you can join us!
