A little about us...We are Southern California sisters who have lived with Crohn's Disease
for years. Amy, 31, has had Crohn's Disease for ten years. Casey, 33, has lived with
Crohn's Disease for over six years. We have more than 6 people in our family with

We are absolutely amazed at the response this site has had. Since we launched in

| Pete Challenges Himself to Change His Life and All of Ours! |
I am just one of millions of Americans living with Crohn's disease.
There is, currently, no cure for Crohn's. The Crohn's and Colitis
Foundation of America (CCFA) is on a mission to cure and prevent
this disease. CCFA is an organization with an impressive track
record of funding cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions
and financing underdeveloped areas of research. This particular run
means more to me then just finding a cure. It's an opportunity for me
to get back into shape after a long flare up that lasted two years.
Over those two years I tried numerous medications and fought to
keep my weight up. Five months ago I weighed 132lbs and I was
ready to have surgery a second time. Luckily I decided to try one
more drug before surgery, even though it meant staying attached to
an IV bag for 3 months to get my nutrition. The drug seems to be working for now, but I’m
worried that I could have another flare up at anytime. Lots of people I talked to that have
tried this drug and didn’t have a horrible immediate reaction to it, told me it only kept them
in remission for about 9 months. I'm currently able to eat enough food to keep my weight
up and I feel better than I have in a long time so I’m taking advantage of this period of good
health by running to raise money. Trying lots of different drugs and contemplating when the
right time is for surgery is the norm for people living with Crohn’s. Please support me and
CCFA by giving generously! It's easy; you can make a donation online. A minimum of 80¢
per dollar donated to CCFA goes directly to research and patient support, and your
contribution is tax deductible. The Team Challenge-Crohn's and Colitis program is training
me to run a half marathon while helping the Foundation raise funds to find a cure for Crohn’
s disease and ulcerative colitis. Our team will be completing the Napa to Sonoma Wine
Country Half Marathon on July 20, 2008 where we will be greeted with 13.1 miles of
picturesque scenery, warm wind through the grape fields and one of the BEST half
marathon finishes in the country!
We support our friend Pete in his awesome challenge and we hope that you will too!
