Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Inc.
Once again, I have decided to make a difference in our fight against Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis. I will be re-joining Iron Team Challenge proudly wearing our orange team jersey. As an endurance triathlete, aside from appreciating the outdoors and my no-limits lifestyle, I really enjoy pushing myself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Each training session has a purpose and each event always presents a new set of challenges to persevere.
As a Iron Team Challenge advocate and athlete, I am blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to help change the lives of individuals with Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis. They have no choice but to persevere every day. I chose this particular cause to help bring a voice, visibility, education and funds to a very private disease. Once we find a cure, our patients can live a spontaneous, healthy lifestyle, without limitations - something I strive to do everyday.
The patients I continually meet along my triathlete journey are the real heros and ultimately my motivation. It's far more rewarding for me to cross the finish line carrying their names and our collective cause vs. soloing a race. I would sincerely appreciate you joining our cause with a donation, ANY amount you contribute will make a difference! Thanks for your consideration and for being an important part of Team Orange, we are funding key IBD research, education and support. And our real finishline is finding a cure!
Thanks for your consideration,
Sandy
