Hello!
It has been suggested by one of my wonderful friends that I share the link to my blog on my fundraising site - and so if you found me through that - welcome! It's a great idea, thanks Erica!
An update on where everything is at:
My doctors appointment went really well last week! I have a wonderful doctor who supports me with my battle against the Crohn's and who always seems to have my best interest on the top of the priority list when it comes to managing my disease. For now, we're going to stay on the maintenance routine - and I'm going to stay healthy as I continue my journey to Vegas with Team Challenge. :D
Team Challenge - we are in the swing of things now! There are weekly conference calls with the coach, a wonderful mentor to guide me along the journey (a shout out to Abbe!) and awesome support from Cindie with CCFA. The support that I'm receiving on the national level is amazing!
And of course - the support starts with the foundation of my friends and family - you wonderful people reading my blog right now. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful you all are. The comforting words when I'm sick, the friends and family who understand when our nights out are cut short because I'm sick, the wonderful people in my life who are donating to the cause - so that maybe one day the research will lead to a cure. My life would be a very dark place without all the support - thank you for being a part of the joy in my life. It's with your help I'm going to tackle this tremendous goal and I'm going to cross finish line on December 2 (with my good friend, Christina, right beside me all 13.1 miles).
My dear friend, Erica, also suggested a countdown to the marathon...and so I will end my blogs with a countdown each time I publish a post.
Right now...we are 87 days away! We are currently at $538 raised (it's actually a little higher than that because we did have a few really awesome fundraisers through Tastefully Simple and Pampered Chef that have not been added into the total yet).
If you haven't visited the site yet...please do...you can find it at:

Dream Big!
