Make a change, donate to help find cures

Recently I joined Team Challenge to raise money and help find a cure for the Crohn's & Colitis diseases.

As part of Team Challenge I am raising money for the Crohn's & Colitis foundation and run the Las Vegas Half Marathon on December 6th, 2009.

I am asking for your help to reach my goal of $3500 to aid research in the hopes of finding a cure for these horrible diseases. My personal deadline is November 15th to reach my goal of $3500. Every donation, no matter how small, helps to find a cure.

Thanks!
